Vietnamese Prawn and Sweet Potato Fritters - Banh Tom

These amazing prawn and sweet potato fritters called banh tom (translates to prawn cake) are one of my favourite Vietnamese appetizers! These little bad boys are basically a prawn nestled in a basket of golden sweet potato strips and then deep fried until crispy. It is traditionally served with fresh lettuce, herbs and a traditional Vietnamese dipping sauce called nuoc mam cham. They are perfect for the family or guests at a dinner party!
