  2. Microwave unwrapped at 600 W for 1-2 minutes. Place in a strainer to drain the water, then return to the dish (this drains the tofu).

  3. Combine and mix the ☆ ingredients well. Add the egg and beat. Add the water to create the egg mixture.

  6. Please cover with plastic wrap when you're microwaving during Step 5.

  7. It will continue to cook with the residual heat, so if it's a bit loose that's just about right. Do not overcook it. It's not good at all if it becomes porous.
