According to Beijing Travel Network, the official English name of "Leek Box" is Fried Chinese Leek Dumpling. Gu Ailing said she didn't know how to say "leek" in English, and the translation given by the official website of Beijing Tourism was leek, which reads as /liːk/.

China Daily Edition:
fried chive dumpling
In the China Daily edition, "leeks" are chive /tʃaiv/. Mr. Jimmy felt that it was more accurate to use chive than to use leek, because in the strict sense of the word, leek refers to "leeks", which grow much thicker than leeks.
After coming to China, I fell in love with fried chive dumplings.
After coming to China, I fell in love with the leek box.
The third is leek
The last one is chive
Associated Press Edition:

The "leek box" translated by foreigners is a little longer. fill means "full", vermicelli /ˌvɜːmɪ'tʃelɪ/ The word is more difficult, it means "thin noodles", the noodles behind it mean "fans", and vermicelli noodles refer to the fine vermicelli inside the leek box.
Fried dumpling filled with chives and vermicelli noodles are "fried dumplings full of leeks and fine vermicelli."

sesame balls
