Cold Tossed Enoki Mushrooms

As someone who’s constantly battling the scale, I’m always on the lookout for delicious yet weight-loss-friendly recipes. One day, while rummaging through my fridge, I found a pack of enoki mushrooms, some lettuce, and two eggs—and an idea struck me: why not make a cold salad? I tweaked a low-calorie sauce recipe I found online, and the result was unexpectedly amazing! Slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness, the enoki mushrooms were tender, the lettuce refreshing, and the eggs added satiety—all for under 200 calories! Since then, this dish has become my go-to “lifesaver” during weight loss, especially when I’m short on time.
