Calculate energy-density of known plasma in microwave?

Let's assume I want to create a plasma in a regular household microwave similar to this home-made experiment. Although I am dealing with a small amount of mass, I assume that the addition of microwave fields greatly add to the energy of the plasma.
How would I calculate the energy-density of the plasma in terms of Einstein's energy-density equation TT?
What isn't clear to me is how the microwaves contribute towards the energy. Do I need to re-think this in terms of magnetohydrodynamics?
Assumptions:
only need to energy-density at a point in time ttcomposition, temperature, exact electron/ion/particle densities of plasma is determinable and constantenergy contributed to plasma from microwaves is constant and determinable
Thank you to those who can help.
