Fried shrimp cake (Khmer: នំកំប៉ុង, nom kapong; Vietnamese: bánh cống) is a specialty of Khmer Krom in Mỹ Xuyên district, Sóc Trăng province, Southern Vietnam. Over time, the dish has spread across the Mekong Delta, as well as some other localities in Vietnam.[1][2]
The main ingredients of fried shrimp cakes are rice flour, mung beans, shrimp, and stir-fried minced pork with shallots. A mixture of those ingredients are placed in a cake mould, topped with more rice flour and shrimp, and then deep-fried in oil until crispy. They are eaten by wrapping the fried shrimp cake in lettuce, topping with herbs, and dipping it in sweet and sour fish sauce. The dish is consumed hot.[1][2]
