Tips and Tricks

To make Egg Roll Soup effortlessly flavorful, use pre-cut veggies like shredded cabbage or carrot sticks to save prep time. Opt for low-sodium broth to balance the saltiness from soy and oyster sauces. Brown the meat first for a deeper flavor, removing it before sautéing the veggies, and then return it with the broth. Let the soup simmer slowly to meld the flavors, as longer cooking enhances the taste. Finish with fresh cilantro or green onions right before serving for a bright, aromatic touch.
