Despite the rapid development and the emergence of new dishes, Ban Yen Nhan soy sauce remains an indispensable condiment on the dining table of many households in rural Northern Vietnam. The ingredients for making Ban soy sauce include three main components: rice, salt, and soybeans. Although these ingredients are simple and easy to find, the cooking process is meticulous. The two-century-old Cao village in the northern province of Hung Yen is one of the largest incense making villages in Vietnam.
