Prepare the ingredients
After buying chayote, peel it clean, then wash it thoroughly and cut it into thin strips, rinsing again to remove the sap and letting it drain.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms, wash them well, then soak them in diluted salt water for about 10 minutes. After that, wash the mushrooms again, drain them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces about the length of two finger joints.
Chop the green onions and cilantro, discarding the roots and any wilted leaves, then wash them with water and let them drain. Chop the green onion part finely, and for the green onion tops, pound them in a mortar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, using a pestle to crush them well.
