In some parts of Vietnam, people are still used to making soy sauce the traditional way. Locals soak and boil rice before it is left for two days to turn yellow with fungus, where they then mix it with soybeans, salt and water. The pots are then filled with the mixture and covered, where they are left to sit for two to three months until the fermentation process is complete.
