Garlic-Ginger Press
- 1 cup minced garlic
- 1 cup minced fresh ginger root
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

- Remove the pan from the oven, cool and store the mixture in a tightly sealed container for up to one week.
- 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.
- Refrigerate for six to eight hours.
- Remove the press from the meat before cooking.
- The ginger-garlic mixture can be re-used.
