ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tương

Tương is like a yummy sauce that you can add to your food to make it taste better! It's made from soybeans, which are little brown beans that grow in fields.

First, we take the soybeans and soak them in water for a while. Then we boil them until they become soft. After that, we mash them up into a paste.

We add some special ingredients to the soybean paste, like salt and water, and mix it all together. Then we put the mixture into a big jar and let it sit for a while.

Over time, the mixtures starts to change. This is because tiny microorganisms start to grow in the jar. These microorganisms turn the soybean paste into tương!

When the tương is ready, we can use it to make all kinds of foods taste better. We can put it on meat, vegetables, or rice. It's really tasty and helps give our food more flavor!
