What kind of tofu does Pei Wei use?

Question

A name of their supplier or the exact name of the tofu brand would be great. I have tried baked tofu and extra firm tofu but neither are equal to Pei Wei's. I also tried draining the water, freezing the tofu and thawing it back out- but it still wasn't the right consistency.

Answer 1

I think it might have to do with the way Pei Wei makes it/ stores it. You should ask them about it.

Answer 2

I don't know about their supplier, but I think they fry the tofu.  I think that has a huge influence on the consistency.  Plus, it's very thin, so I think it just gets denser when they fry it at high temperatures.
