As has been discussed before, it seems doubtful to me if long marination
does much good but a reserved quantity of marinade can be brushed or
spooned on while cooking for a stronger flavor. Believe it or not, the
1:1 hoisin sauce: siracha chili sauce mix, popular with Pho soup is
rather good if you want a spicy result. Thinning with lemon juice or
rice vinegar can be useful.
