Step By Step Instructions:

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat and saute burdock, with a pinch of sea salt, until shiny with oil, about 2 minutes. Spread burdock evenly over the bottom of the skillet and top with carrot, then lotus root. Squeeze ginger juice over top and add spring or filtered water to just cover burdock.
