Method
Mushroom Fries Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and slice the caps into fry-shaped strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Prepare the Battering Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well. Gradually add water while whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Batter the Mushroom Strips
Dip each mushroom strip into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Mushroom Fries
Carefully place the battered mushroom strips in the hot oil in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushroom fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep warm while you fry the remaining batches.
