To make fried Japanese maple leaves:

-Clean and wash the leaves thoroughly

-Dry the leaves

-Dip them in tempura that is sweetened with sugar and sesame (you can always get creative and add your own extras to the mix!)

-Fry in hot vegetable oil or maple syrup; fry them quickly until they turn brown

-Leave the tempura leaves out on a cooling rack before eating

It’s crispy. The tempura Batter has a slightly sweet taste and leaf veins leaves a salty taste in your mouth.
Leaves will not stay in your mouth. Tempura batter and maple leaves stay together to enjoy the crispy texture.

It is named “Tempura” but the taste is more like “Karintou (Sweet Deep-Fried Brown Sugar Snacks)”

Whoops, I misread that as "temple" not tempura.

OP doesn't seem to be discussing Tempura because he mentions "fried for 20 minutes" that's completely backwards compared to normal tempura frying, which is very quick. The batter is very different in appearance too.

Maple Leaves Tempura has a 1300-year history. The mountain in Minoo city has a Shugendo, which is a syncretic mountain religion in Japan. Back then, Shugendo practitioners were moved by beautiful maple leaves by the waterfall. Then They created Maple Leaves Tempura and served it to people who visited there. This turned out to be one of the snacks in this area and got popular as a local souvenir.

This shop, Hisakunikousendou (久國紅仙堂) grows their own 150 maple leaves for making Maple Leaves Tempura. They pickle yellow leaves and store them. The scum will be out if you pickle maple leaves. This process makes them possible to serve “Maple Leaves Tempura” all year around.
As you see, Maple Leaves Tempura is not made of fallen leaves.

They only use yellow maple leaves. Leaf veins will be left in mouth and also leaves could be black when they deep-fry them if they use maple leaves which already turned red.

They pickle yellow leaves, which gets all the scum out, and mix coarse sugars, flours and sesame seeds up to prepare Tempura batter.
You see, it takes a lot of time and work.

Think it might be a Typo, this is an old link in my bookmarks that I just noticed.

You see that they are deep-frying them at the store all the time but they don’t sell them right after. They sell ones which store for a night to keep oils away."The reason why they don’t sell ones which are just done to deep-fry is that Maple Leaves Tempura which are just done to cook could be too oily.

Moringa
The Moringa oleifera (Drumstick or Horseradish Tree) is a beautiful, fast growing tree (up to 15 feet in a year) with a shady, leaf canopy of very attractive ferny foliage. Small, waxy, creamy-white flowers, resembling miniature orchids, form in clusters, followed by 8-12 inches long round pods that look like drumsticks, hence one of the plant’s common names. The shell of the pod contains a row of neatly packed, wing-edged, round, brown seeds.

This plant is overflowing with vitamins A, B, C, D, E and minerals including potassium, calcium, iron, selenium, and magnesium. Moringa leaves are rich in essential amino acids which are not commonly found in plants, and it is extremely rich in proteins. It is good source of good cholesterol which is known to protect against cardiovascular diseases. It is well known as a stimulant for milk production for breastfeeding mothers. Moringa leaves can be dried at low temperature and made into powder using a mortar and pestle.

Basswood or Linden
one of the best wild salad plants in North America is a tree, the basswood or linden. This tree is either native or grown ornamentally throughout most of the continent. While the wild plants touted for use as salad greens tend to be a little on the strong and bitter side of the spectrum - things you would use to diversify your salad but generally not as the base ingredient - basswood greens do not fit this description. Their flavor is mild and slightly sweet.

You can find the red leaves of the Japanese maple, or momiji, around the world.
Recipe

1. Clean Japanese red maple leaves with a wet towel

2. Make tempura batter (see recipe)

3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350F (175C)

4. Lightly dip one side of a Japanese maple leaf in the batter

5. Immediately fry them until brown

6. Drain tempura on a rack

Tempura Recipe

1. Beat 1 egg in a bowl

2. Add 1 cup (128g, 4.5oz) ice water

3. Add 1 cup sifted all purpose flour

4. Mix Lightly (Be careful not to overmix)

Pickling works best, vacuum-sealed or jarred in “water/apple/maple vinegar” with sugar, cinnamon, cloves and star anise to make them pliable. They’re patted dry and deep-fried to order.

For deep-frying, the oil (canola in our case) needs to be around 350 degrees Fahrenheit—the way to gauge this without a thermometer is to drop a small piece of food or batter in the oil. If it sinks briefly before popping up to the surface, you’re ready to fry.

Momiji (Fried Maple Leaves)
Momiji (Fried Maple Leaves)

20-30 clean, freshly picked Japanese Maple leaves
1 cup ice water
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
¼ cup sugar
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Salt

1- In a large bowl, combine the water (remove any ice), flour, and egg and whisk into a batter until fairly smooth.
2- Add in the sesame oil and sesame seeds and stir until smooth. Gradually add the sugar in, stirring well to distribute it evenly.
3-Place oil in a medium frying pan to no more than 1” deep and heat on a medium flame.
4-When oil is hot, begin dipping the maple leaves into the batter using their stems, and fully coat. Carefully dip each leaf into the oil, taking care to spread the leaves out so they retain their shape.
5-Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Then turn leaf over and fry for another 1-3 minutes until the batter is fully cooked.
6-Carefully remove the momiji from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain, sprinkling salt on top to taste. Serve warm or cool, either plain or with a maple dipping sauce.
