Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine the garlic, fresh ginger and sesame oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet and place, uncovered, in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring often until softened and lightly cooked. Remove the pan from the oven, cool and store the mixture in a tightly sealed container for up to one week.

  2. Step 2

    To use the press, spread half the mixture in a layer on the bottom of a roasting pan and cover with a single sheet of cheesecloth. Place chicken breasts, veal or beef paillards on the mixture and cover with a second layer of cheesecloth. Layer the second half of the ginger-garlic mixture over the meat and press gently.

  3. Step 3

    Refrigerate for six to eight hours. Remove the press from the meat before cooking. The ginger-garlic mixture can be re-used.
