How To Freeze Asian Marinade
Place meat into a freezer bag and pour in enough sesame sauce to coat the meat. Smoosh it around so that all the meat has been covered then remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal.

Label, date and add to your freezer inventory sheet. Make sure the label and inventory say what type of meat, the cut and Asian Sauce or Sesame Marinade, for example "Pork Tenderloin in Asian Sauce"

Freeze now, the beauty of 'dump' freezer recipes is that they get better as they thaw because as the meat is thawing it's also marinating.

How to Thaw
Ideally you don't want to quickly thaw this sort of recipe so the meat it's a chance to marinade, so leave it in the fridge at least overnight. Try to pull it out at dinnertime or before bed the day before you want to use it.

Cook according to the type and cut of meat. If the cut of meat is small enough consider cooking it in your crock pot.
