I can see it's time to post this hopes of broadening
your culinary horizons... Note the use of the
'trinity'.

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.
