Step 1
Shot. Jaew: weighed ingredients beside the heating pan. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo. Show the action, then a jump cut through the wait. Do not film the full Heat 5 min in real time.
Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Jaew. Heat to the refrigerator at 40°F / 4°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh tamarind paste, fish sauce, palm sugar, thai chili, shallot, dry jasmine rice, cilantro, lime juice, kosher salt, neutral oil. Jaew is cooked in Isaan as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Toast a spoon of rice until it smells of popcorn, grind it, and stir it into tamarind, fish sauce, and chili. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

Step 5
Shot. Jaew: checking the center for doneness. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo.
Voiceover. Check the center of Jaew, not the edge. If the cue is not true yet, give it a few more minutes and look again. Opening a lid or an oven door early drops the heat.

Slate words for the editor: trivet, ribbon, ivory, amber, pebble, fork, yeast, shimmer, kilnfire, cedar.

Scene 11 · doneness · 6s
How you know it is done

Voiceover. Jaew is done when it tastes seasoned after the chill, and the dressing or brine coats every piece.
On screen. Doneness
Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Jaew looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Jaew turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.
On screen. Common fixes

Machine-readable script for a later video tool. Scene durations are edit lengths, not cooking times. Long simmers and bakes are jump cuts. Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
