Panda Express Eggplant Tofu

Eggplant Tofu is the vegetarian entree Panda Express built properly: lightly battered tofu and eggplant wok tossed with red bell peppers in a sweet chili glaze, 340 calories a serving, ordered in formats from $8.50. On a menu where meatless usually means a side dish, this is a real entree that stands on its own.

Eggplant is the ingredient that makes it work. It goes soft and almost creamy in the wok while the tofu keeps its shape and picks up a light crust from the batter, so every bite has two textures. The glaze is sweet with a chili edge behind it, closer to the SweetFire profile than to the orange sauce, and the bell peppers add sharpness. It looks purple and glossy on the line, distinct from everything around it.

Eggplant Tofu calories are 340 with 7 g of protein, 23 g of carbs and 3 g of fiber. The protein figure is the honest limitation of a meatless order here, roughly a third of what a chicken entree delivers, which is why doubling it on a Plate at $10.50 is the move for vegetarians who want a full meal. Sodium sits at 520 mg, and the published flags are wheat, soy and sesame with no egg or dairy.

How much is Eggplant Tofu? Entrees carry no published national price, so the store decides. A Bowl at $8.50 with a side underneath is the standard route.

It suits vegetarians, vegans checking the flags, and anyone who orders vegetables by choice rather than obligation. Pair it with Super Greens at 130 calories for the most vegetable dense meal the menu can build, or with Chow Mein at 600 calories for the comfort version. Super Greens Entree at 90 calories is the other fully plant based entree option.
