Instructions:
- Make marinade by combining tamari, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a shallow container.
- Cut tempeh into thin slices and add to the container with the marinade. Toss to coat tempeh and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
- Once tempeh has marinated, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add shiitake mushrooms and bok choy and sauté a bit longer, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, miso, ginger, Chinese five spice, chili flakes, vegetable broth, and water into the pot and bring mixture to a boil. Heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add marinated tempeh, and any remaining marinade to the broth.
- Cook tempeh for 3 minutes on each side or until all pieces have turned brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Divide zucchini noodles evenly among 4 bowls. Once broth has simmered, add tamari if desired.
- Ladle broth evenly into each bowl. Arrange reserved bok choy leaves and nori sheet around edge of the bowls. Place a few slices of tempeh in each bowl.
- Top evenly with green onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately. Season with sriracha or chili garlic sauce
