• Use a spatula to mix the ingredients together to make the fritter batter. Add up to 2 extra tablespoons of the flour until your fritter batter is thick enough that it will stick together.
• Then, use your hands to form 12 fritters. Pat them down so they look like small and thin burger patties. Place the formed fritters on a plate.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat up two tablespoons of the oil. Let it heat up for a few minutes over medium-high heat. Then, carefully place as many fritters as you can in the pan without them overlapping. You will probably need to cook them in two batches.
• Let the fritters cook for about 5 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip them over to cook for another 5 minutes.
• The fritters should be golden brown on both sides when they are done.
• Transfer the cooked fritters to a serving plate lined with paper towels and cook the second batch in the remaining two tablespoons of oil.
• Serve the fritters hot with optional sour cream (for dipping).

SHRIMP AND SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potato and cut it into flat, skinny sticks about 2 inches long, 1/4 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick. (Think of them as short lengths of very thick fettuccine.) It is okay if the sticks are not all the same length, or if they come out a little rough looking.
• In a large bowl, dissolve the slaked lime paste in the water. Add the sweet potato sticks and set aside to soak for 4 hours.
• Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a wok or a 5-quart Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, stand a dry bamboo chopstick in the oil; if small bubbles immediately gather on the surface around the chopstick, the oil is ready.) Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet next to the stove.
• While the oil is heating, make the batter. In a bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, and turmeric. Use a rubber spatula to gradually stir in the water to make a smooth, thick batter. Drain the sweet potato and add to the batter, mixing to coat well. The batter will seem gluey.
• Fry the fritters in batches to avoid crowding them in the pan. Using 2 large metal spoons, scoop up about 1/4 cup of the batter into 1 spoon and flatten it with the back of the second spoon. Arrange 3 shrimp on top, pressing them gently into the batter to ensure they stick. Lower the spoon just to touch the oil, and then use the second spoon to slide the fritter gently into the hot oil. Fry the fritters, turning once, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden orange and the potatoes are cooked through. Use a skimmer or slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to the rack to drain.
• Before serving, use kitchen scissors to cut the fritters into quarters, making sure that each piece gets some shrimp. Serve with the vegetable garnish plate and dipping sauce. To eat, tear a piece of lettuce roughly the size of your palm, top with a piece of fritter, add cucumber slices and a few herb leaves, shape into a bundle, and dunk into the dipping sauce.
• Vietnamese cooks often use shell-on small shrimp in foods because the shells contribute fragrance and crunch. Small white shrimp (61 to 70 shrimp per pound), which have very thin shells, are ideal. You will find them at Asian and Latin markets. For the crepe recipes on pages 274 and 277, you may peel the shrimp first if you don't like the idea of chewing on the shells. Be sure to leave the shells on when making these sweet potato fritters, however, or they will dry out. For details on trimming the feet and tail, see page 115.
