Leek tempura is a light and crispy dish originating from Japanese cuisine, where the art of tempura frying transforms simple vegetables into flavorful delicacies. Made with fresh leeks, sliced into thin strips or rounds, the vegetable is coated in a thin batter of flour, egg, and cold water, then deep-fried until golden and airy. The mild, onion-like sweetness of the leek pairs beautifully with the delicate crunch of the tempura shell. While tempura leeks are lower in calories than heavily battered fried foods, they still retain some oil from frying, which may increase their calorie and fat content. Leeks are naturally rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants and dietary fiber, offering nutritional benefits. For a balanced approach, enjoy leek tempura as part of a meal with lighter, nutrient-dense sides like miso soup or steamed vegetables.
