Scene 5 · step · 7s
Step 1
Shot. Tteokbokki: 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 Tteokbokki. Heat to a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh rice flour, gochujang, gochugaru, granulated sugar, tamari, low-sodium fish broth, scallion, firm tofu, kosher salt, toasted sesame oil. Tteokbokki is cooked in Street as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Shape a firm rice-flour dough into short cylinders, and simmer them in a gochujang sauce until they turn chewy and the sauce glosses. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

Voiceover. Add the remaining weighed foods and cook Tteokbokki at a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C. Start checking at 20 minutes. Tteokbokki is done when the thickest piece yields to a fork and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.

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

Shot. Tteokbokki: rested and ready to plate. 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 Rest 5 min in real time.
Voiceover. Rest Tteokbokki for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the salt. Serve it in the way it is eaten in south korea, with the sauce or garnish that belongs to it. Film Tteokbokki in this shot order and no other: batter or dough smoothed to the corners; a colander and a cloud of steam; cheese melting only after the boil stops; aromatics softening without color. Slate words for the editor: iris, violet, kettle, blister, shimmer, ivory, windowlight, linen, zephyr, nutmeg.

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. Tteokbokki 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. Tteokbokki 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.
