About This Dish

Steamed Ginger Fish is the gentlest dish Panda Express serves: white fish steamed with ginger, scallions and a light soy sauce, 200 calories a serving, ordered in formats from $8.50. Nothing else on the menu is cooked without a wok or a fryer, and nothing else eats this cleanly.

Steaming keeps the fish flaking in large soft pieces rather than firming up the way pan cooked fish does. Ginger and scallion do all the seasoning, sharp and fresh against the mild fish, with a soy based sauce spooned over rather than cooked in. The dish looks pale and quiet on a line built around red glazes, and it is the one entree that tastes like something a home cook in a Cantonese kitchen would actually make.

Steamed Ginger Fish calories are 200 with 15 g of protein, 8 g of carbs and 12 g of fat, the lowest fat figure of any protein entree on the menu. Sodium comes in at 1,990 mg, lower than the wok dishes since the sauce is applied rather than reduced. Published flags are fish, wheat and soy.

How much is Steamed Ginger Fish? Stores set entree pricing individually and seafood usually carries an upcharge. The formats give the base: $8.50 for a Bowl, $10.50 for two entrees.

It suits anyone recovering, anyone avoiding fried food entirely, and anyone who finds the rest of the menu too loud. Pair it with White Steamed Rice at 520 calories for the traditional plate, or with Super Greens at 130 calories for a meal under 250 calories total. Availability rotates by market, so check your store before making the trip.

How to Make Steamed Ginger Fish at Home

Steamed fish is the easiest restaurant dish to reproduce and the hardest to fake. A plate, a steamer and eight minutes is genuinely all it takes.

Tips

  • The hot oil at the end is the whole dish. Cold oil leaves the ginger raw and harsh.
  • Pour off the steaming liquid; it is the single most common mistake with steamed fish.
  • Thickness decides timing more than weight. Ten minutes per inch is reliable.

Variations

  • Add sliced shiitake to the plate before steaming for more body.
  • A little Shaoxing wine over the fish before steaming deepens the flavor.
  • Works identically with salmon at a shorter cook time.

Serve it with: Plain steamed rice to catch the sauce, and blanched greens beside it.
