Instructions

Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork.
Start by preparing the Bang Bang Chicken. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Mix together the cornstarch and flour. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture. Then coat in the egg. Then coat well with breadcrumbs.
Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 until cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C using a thermometer. Remove from heat and set aside on paper towels.
For the Crab Rangoon, in a bowl, mix together cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, and soy sauce until well combined. Place about 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold over into triangles, and press to seal. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Fry the crab rangoon until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Toss the chicken with the prepared Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
For the Coconut Lime Water, in a pitcher, combine coconut water and lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Serve the Bang Bang Chicken over a bed of white rice, garnished with chopped scallions, with Crab Rangoon and Coconut Lime Water. Enjoy with a fortune cookie.
