Prawn and Sweet Potato Fritters – Banh Tom

Prawn and Sweet Potato Fritters

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!
