Nuoc Cham Dressing
Steps
1
For the nuoc cham, whisk together the ingredients and set aside until ready to serve.
2
To make the fritters, whisk together the flours, baking powder, turmeric and salt. Make a well in the centre and crack in the egg. Gradually add enough of the iced water, whisking constantly, to form a thick batter. Stir in the sweet potato and prawn.
3
Fill a wok or deep frying pan to about one-third capacity with the oil and place over high heat. The oil is hot enough when a wooden spoon dipped into the oil forms small little bubbles. Scoop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, forming fritters. Cook, turning halfway, for 4 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil. Season with salt. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4
Transfer the fritters to a platter. Serve with the 2 dipping sauces – Vietnamese-style Tangy Dressing and the nuoc cham.
