Stir-fry the carrots and burdocks in a nonstick pan until just tender. Add cucumber and heat through. Set aside to cool. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients and serve over the top of the salad. Top with toasted sesame seeds. For a more intense flavor, sprinkle some Seven-spice powder to taste.
