Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top.
Prepare three plates. For plate one, combine the flour, salt and pepper. For plate two, pour in the beaten egg. For the last plate, combine the panko and Parmesan.
Roll the mushroom strips in the flour mixture. Dip into egg. Roll them in the panko mixture. Place them on the wire rack with and space them apart for ⅛-inch. Bake in the oven until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise ingredients together.
When the fries are done, serve immediately with garlic mayonnaise.
Notes
I used Kewpie for the garlic mayonnaise. I like the sweetness of it. I also think it goes better with the fries. I recommend you using Kewpie for this recipe. But if you really can’t find it, use regular mayonnaise.
