    If it goes wrong

    Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.

    Voiceover. Chiang Mai Beef Herb Salad looks done on top and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue in the method, not the color alone. Give it a few more minutes and check the center. Chiang Mai Beef Herb Salad spread, sank, or turned out dry. Measure by weight next time, heat the oven fully, and stop when the doneness cue appears rather than when the timer ends.
