  Pour oil from above into bottom of stock pot, adding
  enough to cover the bottom of the pot, if necessary.
  Make a roux by adding an equal amount of flour,
  cooking until thickened.  Add the following:
  
  Simmer for 25 minutes.  Add drained tofu, place lid on
  pot and simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring
  occasionally.  Add 3 or 4 fresh bay leaves and let
  cool for 15 minutes.  Reheat if necessary and serve
  over steamed rice. Top with fresh parsley.
  
  If a less spicy mix is desired, the amount of red
  pepper can be reduced to taste.
