Mix all ingredients except for the cabbage and cucumbers in a large bowl until well combined. Add the cabbage and cucumbers to the mixture and toss until well-mixed. Cover and keep in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until ready to enjoy. Use within one day.
To Prepare Tempura Battered Portobello Mushrooms:
Preheat oil in a fryer or heavy-bottomed skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk together 1 cup of sifted flour with the egg and ice-cold water to form a thin batter.
