Yeah, and frybeef jut wouldn't cut it. Fortunately, as I say, there are
a number of recipes that are very similar, but simply omit the bacon.

It might, given that this coagulation is done with eggs (can you make
custard out of soy milk?) rather than with rennet. Bean curd is done
with some kind of chemical, something like gypsum or calcium chloride,
so I'm not sure if soy milk would curdle with eggs. However, since the
eggs themselves can curdle anyway, it might work. I'm not sure, though.

Tell ya what: take some slices of bean curd, stick them with cloves and
pine nuts (or, if you're allergic to nuts, maybe just cloves), fry and
sprinkle with sugar, and see if you think it's worth proceeding with an
experiment with some eggs and some soy milk.
