Bánh cống

Bánh cống is a traditional cake that's eaten as an afternoon or evening snack. It's made with a combination of green beans, shrimp, baking powder, onions, spices, and rice flour. Once prepared, the batter is poured into a mold called cai cống, and it's then deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown. The cake is traditionally served with sweet and sour fish sauce, and it's often served on a lettuce leaf, then garnished with herbs and pickles.
