## Instructions

4. Place heat-safe plastic wrap to seal the bowl air tight then poke a bunch of small holes into the plastic wrap.

7. In a small bowl, combine your water and cornstarch to create a cornstarch slurry and pour it into the pan once the meat is fully cooked to slightly thicken the sauce.
8. Place your beef on top of the steamed tofu-egg mixture and top it off with your green onions and enjoy!
