Layout paper towels for draining the asparagus later.
In a deep fryer, or a saucepan, add approximately 2 inches of oil, and heat over medium/high heat.
In a shallow bowl, add tempura mix and water. Stir to combine.
Dip each asparagus spear in the batter to coat evenly, then gently shake off excess.
Approximately 5 at a time, carefully add asparagus into the oil.
Fry approximately 1 minute, or until the asparagus floats to the top of the oil.
Place on paper towels to drain off the oil.
Season with sea salt.
Repeat the process for the rest of the asparagus spears.
Serve immediately.
