Tofu Mushroom Curry in a Ginger Mustard Sauce

Looking for something a little exotic for dinner tonight?  But without a lot of fuss?

Then you have to try this Tofu Mushroom Curry from Archana's Kitchen.  The Ginger Mustard Sauce is to die for.

I was browsing the internet last night looking for simple rice dishes to cook and ran across this recipe from Archana's Kitchen.  I am not much of a curry guy, nor am I a tofu guy, but I had all the ingredients on hand, and the mustard sauce sounded interesting so I gave it a go.

Wow!

So simple to make but yet so flavorful.

Tofu Mushroom Curry in Ginger Mustard Sauce

I'll admit the Ginger Mustard Sauce is what intrigued me.  As it turns out, it's simply a slurry of corn starch and water with a little Dijon Mustard and Soy Sauce whisked in.

It sounds like an odd mixture to a country boy like me,  but when you pour this sauce into your pot, it thickens up nicely into a really tasty sauce that makes this whole dish just pop.

The recipe also calls for a tablespoon of honey.  If you're an anti-honey vegan, you can probably sub in a tablespoon of agave nectar or maybe even maple syrup.

I left out the oil in the original recipe and had no problems sautéing my veggies.  The Sesame Seed/Honey mixture was the perfect base to sauce all my veggies and of course the mushrooms will add a bit of their own liquid as well.

The honey adds just the right amount of sweetness to counter the tartness of the mustard sauce.

I served this over rice, but I can easily see this used as a topper for noodles or even a baked potato too.

Thanks Archana - I can definitely see this added to my weekly rotation.
