Variations

I’ve added cooked rice or noodles to make it more filling.
For low-carb, I keep it brothy and skip starches.
I sometimes top it with crispy wonton strips for crunch.
A splash of hoisin or sriracha gives it an extra flavor boost.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. It reheats really well on the stove or in the microwave. The flavors deepen as it sits. It also freezes well — I just avoid freezing if it contains noodles or rice, which can get mushy. Cozy One-Pot Egg Roll Soup
