I am thinking - may be if you add the curdling agent (flakes for making tofu,
e.g. nigari) into hot soya milk and let it sit there. Well, you're suppose to
strain the stuff through a sieve+cheese cloth and then get rid of the water to
make tofu. So suppose if you don't put the stuff through the sieve+cheese cloth
process, then it would become something like what you're trying to make in here?

I have just bought a soya milk maker and I have yet to make my first batch of
tofu but the soya milk came out quite nicely.
