Shrimp Cupcake...Fried

Another typical Sunday...went to my parents for lunch.  Most of the time I do the cooking.  Today my Mom had done all the preparation and all I had to do was cook it.  Most of you are probably wondering Shrimp...in a Cupcake...and Fried?  For one...Fried almost anything is amazing!

We had a traditional Vietnamese dish that I grew up eating and learned how to make when I was young.  These little "Cupcakes" called Banh Cong are fried in a Rice Flour Batter filled with Green Beans and Onion and topped with Shrimp.

This was served with Banh Cuon, which is a steamed translucent thin rice noodle and various Vietnamese Ham. Fish Sauce with Chili Sauce topped it all off. (Fish Sauce is either a love or hate thing...no in between)
