Press any remaining liquid from the tofu slices and blot them dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Preheat oven to 250F.
In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and walnuts and mix well. In a shallow bowl, combine the soy sauce, mustard, maple syrup, and mayonnaise, stirring to blend well. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl.
One at a time, dip the tofu slices into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip the tofu slices in the mustard sauce, coating all over, then place them in the walnut mixture, turning to coat, lightly pressing the walnut mixture into the tofu.
In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbl. of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with all the tofu.
