Wash the leek well, they tend to be very gritty. Then dice them. Once they're diced, make sure that they are completely dry and no excess water is on the leeks. *This is important, pictured below is what happens when you don't drain all the excess water, you just get fried leeks with no yummy crust*
Mix together your corn starch and sugar. Then in batches cover your diced leeks in the mixture.
Heat enough peanut oil in a large pot so you have about 4 to 5 inches of the pot filled.
Fry the leeks in batches, remove once they begin to turn golden brown.
Once they're all done, enjoy with a delicious remoulade!
