Instead of making the temaki sushi you also can serve all the ingredients in small bowls and everyone fills his own temaki sushi. Serve pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce on the side. It catches the eye of your guests if you decorate the temaki sushi on a sushi board. Rinse the sushi rice with cold water until the water runs clear. Put the suhi rice in a pot and add the water. Season with sugar and salt, bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and cover as soon as the water stops boiling. Let the rice soak for about 20 minutes. Put the sushi rice on a flat plate and season with rice wine vinegar. Peel the white asparagus, cut lengthwise in half and then in about 2.5 inch pieces. Cook the asparagus with a little salted water and a pinch of sugar until done. The asparagus should not be too tender. If you are not able to get fresh asparagus use frozen asparagus. Compared to canned asparagus the frozen asparagus as more taste. Use green asparagus if you can't get white asparagus. Drain the asparagus. Wash the zucchini and cut into 2.5 inch long and 1/4 inch thick stripes. Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone in a twisting motion. Peel the avocado. Cut slice half of the avocado and drizzle with lime juice. Put the other half of the avocado in a food processor together with 2 tbsp lime juice and soy sauce and mix. Place each nori seaweed sheet with the smooth side down on a bamboo mat or a clean dish towel. Cut in half with a sharp kitchen knife. Slightly wet the brim of the nori sheet. Wet your hands and form 6 small balls from the sushi rice. Put one rice ball on each of the halved nori sea weed sheets. Flatten the rice balls. Add a few drops of water to the wasabi powder and make a paste. Spread in a very thin layer on the rice. Arrange the vegetables on it and brush with the avocado mix. Hold the filling with two fingers and fold the nori seaweed sheet from the back to the front. Then roll it up like a little bag.
