    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.

  11. Scene 11 · mistakes · 7s

    If it goes wrong

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

    Voiceover. Steamed Pork and Pumpkin Rice 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. Steamed Pork and Pumpkin Rice 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.

    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.
