19 Panda Express Copycat Recipes To Make At Home

Panda Express Beijing Beef consists of bits of bell pepper, onions, and, of course, delicious, saucy beef.

I like that the copycat version incorporates all the sauces to make it taste just like, if not better than, the original. This includes oyster, hoisin, soy, and hot sauce.

Panda Express Black Pepper Chicken is undoubtedly one of my favorite menu items because the black pepper flavor pairs swimmingly with rice and noodles.

Also, what's not to love about chicken smothered in oyster sauce, black pepper, and other flavorful ingredients?

The Broccoli Beef is what I like to get at Panda Express to trick myself into thinking I'm eating a healthy meal.

Fortunately, when I make a copycat version for myself, I can dictate how much brown sugar, cornstarch, oil, and other ingredients I include to make it much healthier than the restaurant version.

Panda Express Chicken Egg Rolls are great to know how to make because it's easy to prepare tons of them ahead of time as a finger food for parties and events.

These egg rolls are filled with tasty veggies such as carrots, cabbage, and green onions, but also have loads of flavor from the garlic and ginger to keep people wanting seconds (and thirds).

I tend to go for fried rice when I order at Panda Express because the Chow Mein sometimes seems dried out from waiting to be eaten.

However, if I'm making Panda Express copycat recipes, the Chow Mein wins out almost every time because I can ensure I'm eating the freshest version right after it's prepared! The trick is always having Yakisoba noodles ready to go.

The cream cheese mix in the Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoon is enough to make you not even miss the crab and cream cheese wontons you might be more familiar with at other Chinese restaurants.

These are also fantastic appetizers if you know there'll be vegetarians at an event who won't want to eat something like chicken egg rolls.

Panda Express Fried Rice has a distinct taste that stands out from your average fried rice, and it's hard to say what makes that so.

I think this copycat recipe simply figured out the perfect amount of vegetable oil, sesame oil, and vegetable broth to include to ensure a similar taste and consistency. And, of course, you can't forget to throw in the peas and carrots.

Honey Walnut Shrimp from Panda Express is one of my favorite dishes because it's so sweet and crunchy.

The nuts add an extra crunch that you can't replicate with anything else, and the honey glaze gives it a distinctive sweetness.

Panda Express Kung Pao Chicken is a great way to get your spicy food fixed.

The combination of peanuts, chili peppers, and garlic makes this dish a great treat for those who love spicy dishes. 

Plus, in your own version, you can add extra bell peppers and celery, giving it the perfect consistency and crunch, in my opinion. All you need is steamed rice, and you're set for an amazing meal.

If you've never tried Panda Express Shanghai Angus Steak, you've been missing out. This protein isn't always available, so I was even more delighted when I found a copycat version.

I love the addition of mushrooms, which adds a great umami flavor, and the sweetness of the punchiness of the Worcestershire sauce competes with the bitterness from the soy sauce in an exciting way that simply works.

Panda Express Super Greens adds a lovely, fresh option as a base side to your whole Chinese-inspired dinner.

Incorporating kale, broccoli, and cabbage into one heart-healthy dish is a winner. And it certainly doesn't taste bad, boring, or bland, thanks to the ginger, garlic, and soy sauce that all add tons of flavor.

I love Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken because it satisfies many of my taste buds with its sweet, spicy, and tangy elements.

The pineapple provides sweet and sour touches, while the sweet chili ensures tanginess and spice.

Orange Chicken from Panda Express is a classic dish I can never get enough of. It has the most amazing flavor combination of sweet and tangy, thanks to the orange zest, orange juice, and rice wine.

Every time I make this on my own, my kids are overjoyed. It's truly a crowd-pleaser. I won't lie - this one might outdo the original Panda Express version!

Panda Express Mushroom Chicken is, as you might expect, perfect for mushroom lovers. Making it yourself ensures you can have the perfect number of mushrooms in every bite.

I like that the copycat version doesn't forget to add pieces of zucchini to the mix as well, which creates a crunchie and more dynamic consistency.

Panda Express String Bean Chicken Breast is a perfect marriage of protein and veggies.

The string beans add just the right amount of crunch to the dish, while the garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil work together to bring out all the flavors.

The addition of soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, and cornstarch help create a gorgeous glaze in this Panda Express Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe.

I like making this on busy weeknights because the whole family enjoys it, and it only takes 2 minutes to whip it together.

Another quick and relatively healthy dish to whip up on a weeknight is Panda Express Eggplant Tofu.

It's a great vegetarian meal that can be challenging to find at every Panda Express.

If you're a vegetarian or simply looking to cut down on meat consumption, this recipe is a great one to bookmark.

Panda Express Honey Sesame Chicken is a true classic. With just the right level of sweetness and punchiness from the honey, lemon juice, and sesame oil, it's a balanced and delicious dish.

Plus, the added vegetables give it an extra boost of nutrition that everyone can appreciate.

This Grilled Teriyaki Chicken recipe is one of my favorite Panda Express copycat recipes because it only takes 30 minutes to prepare and make, and it tastes even better than the restaurant.

I like to put it on top of white rice if I'm feeling traditional or cauliflower rice if I'm looking for a low-carb option.
