04 - Stir in shredded carrots and chopped greens. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until vegetables are just wilted but still vibrant. Avoid overcooking to maintain texture.
05 - Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Taste broth and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or lime juice as needed. Balance flavors to your preference.
