In steamer basket set over pot with 1 inch (2.5 cm) simmering water, steam tempeh and green onion for 15 minutes.In food processor, purée together tempeh, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and ginger until smooth. Let cool. Stir in coriander and sesame seeds.
Cut carrot, cucumber and pepper into 8- x 1/8-inch (20 cm x 3 mm) strips. Peel and pit avocado; slice thinly and squeeze lemon juice over top.
Place 1 nori sheet, shiny side down and with long side closest, on bamboo sushi rolling mat. Spread evenly with about one-quarter of the tempeh mixture, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) border along each long side.
Stir wasabi with 2 tsp (10 mL) water; spread one-quarter lengthwise down closest long side of nori, about 2 inches (5 cm) in from edge. Top with one-quarter each of the carrot, cucumber, pepper and avocado.
Using bamboo mat to lift and starting with closest long edge, roll up nori, firmly encasing filling. Set aside, seam side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls. Trim ends even. Cut each roll into 8 slices, wiping knife with wet cloth between cuts.
