Step 1
Shot. Soupe kandia: 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 Soupe kandia. Heat to a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh okra, shrimp, peeled, tomato, yellow onion, dry jasmine rice, garlic, chili flakes, neutral oil, kosher salt. Soupe kandia is cooked in Dakar as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Simmer okra with tomato until it silks, then cook the shrimp through and serve the pot with rice. Palm oil is the usual fat. Neutral oil is the fat this pantry counts. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

Step 5
Shot. Soupe kandia: checking the center for doneness. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo.

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

Soupe kandia 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.

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.
