Steps
Wrap the silken tofu in kitchen paper and microwave it at 600 W for 1 minute to remove excess moisture. Carefully unwrap it, as it may be hot.
Place the microwaved tofu in a microwave-safe heatproof dish. Add the egg, chicken bouillon powder, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until the tofu is smooth and the egg and seasonings are evenly incorporated.
Add the shimeji mushrooms, kimchi, and shredded pizza cheese to the dish, arranging them over the tofu mixture.
Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap, leaving room for steam to escape. Microwave at 600 W for 3 minutes, until the egg mixture is set and the cheese is melted. If the center is not set, heat briefly in additional 20- to 30-second intervals.
Remove the plastic wrap carefully to avoid the hot steam. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
The source specifies 600 W microwave power and a total microwave time of 4 minutes: 1 minute for draining the tofu and 3 minutes for cooking the gratin. Microwave performance varies, so confirm that the egg is fully set before eating. The recipe is attributed in the post to @rita_recipe_diet.
