Thumbnail Concept
SPLIT SCREEN: Left side shows a takeout container with generic-looking noodles, looking unappetizing. Right side shows the same noodles but homemade, glistening with sauce, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, looking restaurant-quality. Text overlay: 'Takeout: 30+ Min' on left, 'Homemade: 15 Min' on right. A clock showing '15:00' is visible.
Stop ordering takeout. You can make better garlic noodles at home in less time than it takes for the delivery driver to arrive. 15 minutes. One pan. Restaurant quality. Let's do this.
Delivery
Energetic and confident. Start with a direct challenge to the viewer. When you say '15 minutes', emphasize it. The energy should be: you can do this, and it's going to be amazing. Speak quickly to match the fast-paced recipe.
B-Roll Notes
Start with a shot of takeout noodles (or a delivery bag). Cut to you looking at the camera with energy. Show a timer set to 15 minutes. Show ingredients laid out. Return to you talking.
Editing Notes
Use quick, energetic cuts. Add text overlays: 'Stop Ordering Takeout', '15 Minutes', 'One Pan', 'Restaurant Quality'. The music should be upbeat and cooking-focused. Build excitement with the time challenge.
Filming Notes
Film with good, natural lighting (preferably in a kitchen). Show ingredients clearly. Film yourself looking energetic and confident. Use a clean, well-lit kitchen setup.
Alright, here's the secret that's going to change your garlic noodle game forever. [Hold up garlic] You need both fresh garlic AND garlic powder. I know, it sounds like overkill. But trust me, this is the move. [Start cooking] Fresh garlic gives you that sharp, aromatic punch. Garlic powder gives you that deep, savory flavor that sticks to every noodle. Together? Magic. [Show both being added] So get your pan screaming hot. I mean, you want to see a little smoke. Add your oil, then immediately add your fresh garlic. You want to hear that sizzle instantly. If you don't hear it, your pan isn't hot enough. [Demonstrate the sizzle] Cook it for 30 seconds, just until it's fragrant. Don't let it burn. Burnt garlic is bitter, and we don't want that.
Delivery
Educational and enthusiastic. When you reveal the secret, be excited but clear. The explanation should feel like insider knowledge. When you demonstrate the sizzle, be specific and instructional. Speak at a pace that's easy to follow but maintains energy.
B-Roll Notes

Editing Notes
Use close-ups to show the technique clearly. Add text overlays: 'Fresh Garlic + Garlic Powder', 'Pan Screaming Hot', 'Hear the Sizzle', '30 Seconds'. The slow-motion sizzle shot should be satisfying. The music should be energetic and cooking-focused.
Filming Notes
Film with good lighting, especially for the close-ups. The slow-motion sizzle shot is crucial - use a high frame rate if possible. Ensure the garlic is clearly visible. Film yourself explaining with clear gestures.
While your garlic is getting fragrant, let's talk noodles. [Show noodles] You want fresh noodles if you can get them. But if you're using dried? That's fine, just cook them a minute less than the package says. You want them slightly undercooked because they're going to finish cooking in the pan. [Drain and add to pan] Okay, garlic is ready. Add your noodles directly to the pan. [Add noodles] Now, here's where the magic happens. You're going to toss these constantly for the next 2 minutes. Don't stop. Keep them moving. You want every single noodle coated in that garlicky oil. [Continue tossing] See how they're getting that glossy, restaurant-quality look? That's the starch from the noodles mixing with the oil and garlic. That's what you want. Keep tossing until every noodle is shiny and perfect.
Delivery
Instructional and encouraging. When you explain the noodle technique, be clear and specific. The 'keep tossing' instruction should be emphasized. When you point out the glossy look, be excited about the result. Speak with the confidence of someone who's made this many times.

Alright, almost done. [Add sauce ingredients] Now for the finish. A splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar. The sugar might sound weird, but it balances the saltiness and gives it that restaurant-quality depth. Trust me. [Continue tossing] Toss it one more time, just to combine everything. [Show final result] And there you have it. 15 minutes. One pan. Garlic noodles that are better than takeout. [Garnish] Top it with some green onions and sesame seeds if you're feeling fancy. But honestly? It's perfect as is. The garlic is the star here, and it's shining.
Delivery
Satisfied and confident. When you add the finishing touches, be specific about why each ingredient matters. When you reveal the final result, be proud and satisfied. The 'better than takeout' claim should feel genuine. End with appreciation for the simplicity.
