Assuming that the recently observed hidden-charm pentaquark state, , is of molecular nature as predicted in the unitary approach, we propose to study the decay of to search for the strangeness counterpart of the . There are three ingredients in the decay mechanism: the weak decay mechanism, the hadronization mechanism, and the finite state interactions in the meson-baryon system of strangeness and isospin and of the . All these have been tested extensively. As a result, we provide a genuine prediction of the differential cross section where a strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark state, the counterpart of the , can be clearly seen. The decay rate is estimated to be of similar magnitude as the observed by the LHCb collaboration.
