A few quick notes
1. Keep the package nearby
The method uses package directions for part of the cooking. Read those before choosing your start time, especially if you have a different brand or package size.
2. Keep the lid step in mind
Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.
3. Leave room for the cooling step
The cooling step comes before another part of the finish. Set the food aside as the method directs and keep that pause in mind before cutting, coating or putting the final parts together.

Look at how this ingredient comes into the method: Peanut Sauce: Combine the Peanut Dipping Sauce ingredients.
Rice vermicelli
Look at how this ingredient comes into the method: Place vermicelli noodles in a bowl and cover with warm water for 2 minutes, then drain (or follow packet instructions).

Fold in at the stated step

Mix the sauce before its turn
Give the sauce mixture its own preparation step. Have it ready before the recipe calls for it in the pan or bowl, so you can keep moving through the method.
