- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on high heat and lightly brown the tofu on all sides. Spread the fried tofu cubes on a nonstick baking sheet and bake them until further browned and lightly crusty, 15-20 minutes, depending on how firm and chewy you prefer them. After the first 10 minutes of baking, stir and flip the cubes every 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Saute the onions until translucent and beginning to caramelize. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms have released their liquid and they are tender. Add the wine and deglaze the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.Add the milk, tofu cubes (or chicken, if using), thyme, salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable bouillon cube and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine, bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sour cream, cream cheese and parsley and stir well to combine, making sure the cream cheese is thoroughly dissolved. Return to a low simmer for 3 minutes then remove from heat. Add more sour cream if you desire a thicker consistency, more milk if you desire a thinner consistency.Serve immediately over egg noodles garnished with some freshly chopped parsley.

Notes
