Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
