Instructions
1TO MAKE THE RICE: Combine the rice and water and cook according to the package directions. Scoop it into a bowl. Combine the vinegar, tamari, oil, and sugar in a small bowl, then pour over the rice and gently fluff. Let cool.
2TO MAKE THE VEGETABLES: Stir all the ingredients together in a medium-size bowl.
3TO MAKE THE DIPPING SAUCE: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
4TO MAKE THE TEMPURA: Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a deep bowl. Whisk in the sparkling water. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the asparagus and mushroom without dripping off. If needed, add 1 tablespoon (8 g) flour or (15 ml) sparkling water.
5Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Pour 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) canola oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan, and heat over medium-high heat. Or heat 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) oil in a deep fryer to medium-high heat. Working in batches, dip the vegetables in the batter to coat, slide them into the oil, and fry until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not crowd the fryer or the temperature of the oil will drop. The correct oil temperature should cause a coated vegetable to bubble. Batter and fry all the vegetables and transfer them to the baking sheet to drain.
6TO ASSEMBLE THE WRAPS: Place the wraps on a cutting board. In the centre, spread 1/4 cup (46 g) rice and 1/4 cup (20 g) vegetables. Top evenly with the tempura and the avocado slices. Fold two opposite corners in and roll the wrap closed. Serve with the dipping sauce.
