A few quick notes
1. Give the marinade its turn
Look at the marinating step before you get the rest of dinner going. Keep that preparation in the order the recipe gives, and check the full method for how it fits around the cooking.
2. Do the draining step before mixing
Check the draining or squeezing instruction before combining everything. Finish that little preparation step first, so you are working with the ingredient in the form this recipe expects.
3. Mix the thickener as directed
The thickening step has its own little bit of preparation. Follow the mixing step before adding it, then use the consistency check in the method as you finish.
