Vietnamese kumara and prawn fritters please l have the recipe for the fritters and it just says serve with dipping sauce but l have no idea of what to serve Any suggestions greatly appreciated as l haven't done a lot of these so a bit clueless on this Q;-))
Make nuoc cham by pounding garlic and palm sugar in a mortar until pasty and garlic is pulverised, add chillies and pound, gradually add a few tab of lime juice to soften, then mix in most of lime and fish sauce, leaving a little for final adjustment.Taste sauce and if necessary add more lime or fish sauce - it should be bright and salty with no one flavour dominating.

They use quite a lot of sweet potatoes, which seem to be less sweet than American varieties - more like NZ kumara.
I would use Nuoc Cham. Davidt4 gave a great recipe above.
I never knew they used sweet potatoes. We had some Vietnamese refugees at our uni, and we often cooked together - but then, the sweet potatoes were only rarely available in Europe at that time. So it was always rice to accompany the meals.

cool.I personally, do not like anything too over powering with seafood. I lean towards, pineapple chunks, capsicum, fish sauce,, a little chopped chili thrown over the dish at the last minute.
