Prepare the ingredients
Rinse the rehydrated black and white wood ear mushrooms separately and remove their stems. Tear them into small pieces by hand, blanch each separately in boiling water until heated through, then remove and drain well. Place the mushrooms in a serving bowl. Wash the cucumber and slice it, arranging the slices around the edge of the bowl. Place the shredded ginger and chopped green onions over the mushrooms, pour in the fresh broth, and season with fine salt, MSG, and chopped cilantro.
Make the Sichuan peppercorn oil
Place a wok over low heat, add the vegetable oil, and heat until hot. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and fry until fragrant, then remove and discard them. Drizzle the hot peppercorn oil over the vegetables in the bowl.
Toss and serve
Toss until evenly mixed, transfer to a serving plate, and serve.
