I've made soy tofu a few times, but never tried lentil tofu, is it any good? Making the soy milk is a bit hard for me, especially separating the pulp.

I cook them separately, I've tried to took the lentils and add the rice to the pan during the cooking but it's really difficult to not overcook the rice or lentils.
No need to be pedantic. I'm pointing you to the Vegan Society, who actually created the term vegan. I'm merely trying to educate you on the topic. The dictionary definition is simplifying an entire philosophy, otherwise vegans would also be okay with horse and dog races, horseback riding, using animals as labor and other forms of animal exploitation.
Quote of the important part of the article (highlights by me):
The word vegan was coined by Donald Watson from a suggestion by early members Mr George A. Henderson and his wife Fay K. Henderson that the society should be called Allvega and the magazine Allvegan.
Although the vegan diet was defined early on it was as late as 1949 before Leslie J Cross pointed out that the society lacked a definition of veganism and he suggested “[t]he principle of the emancipation of animals from exploitation by man”. This is later clarified as “to seek an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by man”.
By that definition, animal testing is vegan as long as the end result doesn't contain an animal product, which is not. Veganism is about not exploiting animals as far as possible and practicable.
Cultured meats will be vegan, accidental roadkill is vegan, as well as dumpster diving, because you're not exploiting living sentient beings for that.

There is a difference between accidental deaths and intentional killing. Veganism is about stopping animal exploitation as far as possible and practicable.
Accidentally killing an animal and eating their flesh is something completely different to deliberately killing an animal and eating them.
If you happen to find a dead animal and eat it, you are not exploiting them for their life, just their dead remains.
The animal has a inherent will to live, there is no way to compassionately kill someone that doesn't want to die. Euthanasia is very different because the being actually wants to die.
Lack on animal exploitation*. If you find a dead animal while dumpster diving or a roadkill and you bring home to eat, it's vegan because you're not contributing to the exploitation of living sentient beings.
Look up cochineal and you'll stop eating lots of red/pink food coloring as well.

I love doing them both ways, whenever I get tired of the smooth texture I use a fork and vice versa.
