I know tofu can be controversial, but personally I love it. Unfortunately I went years barely eating it because I fed into the BS hype about it being bad for your hormones. If you're interested to know, the estrogen in soy products is not the same as the estrogen in our bodies so it does not affect your hormones.
This Sticky Orange Chicken Tofu (Vegan) is my latest creation. I love the flavor orange lends to the tofu and I ate the whole meal in one sitting.

Do you mean mustard like the spice or mustard like you'd put on a sandwich? Going to give this a try as soon as I know.
