Instructions

Step 1
Pour 1/2 cup water into the pot. Push in the legs of the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the bottom position in the pot. Spray the tray with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, add the tofu and cornstarch and gently toss until evenly coated. Then evenly spray the tofu with cooking spray. Transfer the tofu to the tray.
