Step 1
Shot. Ozoni: 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 Ozoni. Heat to a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh rice flour, dry glutinous rice, chicken thigh, spinach, carrot, dashi powder, tamari, low-sodium fish broth, kosher salt, toasted sesame oil. Ozoni is cooked in New Year as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Simmer a clear dashi, add chicken and carrot, and drop in small rice-flour mochi until they turn soft and glossy. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

Voiceover. Add the remaining weighed foods and cook Ozoni at a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C. Start checking at 39 minutes. Ozoni is done when the thickest piece yields to a fork and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.

Step 5
Shot. Ozoni: checking the center for doneness. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo.
Voiceover. Check the center of Ozoni, 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.

Voiceover. Rest Ozoni for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the salt. Serve it in the way it is eaten in japan, with the sauce or garnish that belongs to it. Film Ozoni in this shot order and no other: broth poured from a height into a bowl; scale and bowls in a flat lay; the slice or ladle hitting a warm plate; a grill grate just before the food lands. Slate words for the editor: hearth, caramel, bloom, twilight, marble, enamel, zester, velvety, quiet, jasper.

Scene 11 · doneness · 6s
How you know it is done
Shot. Close on the center of the food. A skewer, tap, or spoon shows the cue. Hold long enough to see it.
Voiceover. Ozoni is done when the thickest piece yields to a fork and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.
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. Ozoni 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. Ozoni 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

Shot. The dish cools on a rack, then a container is closed. No refrigerator brand in frame.

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.
