To allow the flavours to fully develop, some Asian dishes benefit from marination prior to cooking. Thus, the hoisin and orange pork tenderloin, served on Monday, should ideally be marinated beginning Sunday night or Monday morning, while the teriyaki salmon, served on Tuesday, should be marinated beginning Monday night or Tuesday morning.

Furthermore, to save valuable time throughout the week, you can prepare your sauces and marinades in advance (see recipes), such as on Sunday. By keeping them in the refrigerator for several days, they’ll be ready to use when you need them.
