- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)

For the dipping sauce

Instructions
- 1
Toss the shredded napa cabbage with 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze the cabbage firmly in your hands over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible, then transfer to a clean mixing bowl.

Heat 2 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden at the edges and any released moisture has evaporated, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the cabbage.
