In a medium bowl, mix the corn starch and flour and add leeks, making sure they are well covered in the mixture and the leeks are in ringlets, by pulling them apart if necessary

Test a couple of leeks to see if they are frying well and you may want to turn down the heat a bit, when ready, fry the leeks in batches until golden brown and crispy, placing them on a paper towel lined dish until ready to use.
