Rinse the rice with cold water and drain thoroughly. In a saucepan, add the recommended amount of water and cook according to the directions on the package.
Prep all ingredients per instructions above.
Add chicken to a bowl and toss each piece with cornstarch. Set aside.
In a separate dish, combine all the ingredients for the sauce together.
Heat the oil in a pot or deep fryer to 350F (176C)
Cook the chicken until all the sides are golden brown to an internal temperature of 160F (71C). Set aside on paper towels.
Cook the sauce: Add a small drizzle of oil to a pan on medium heat and add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Saute for about 30 seconds. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer, then add the chicken and toss to coat.
For the Crab Rangoon, in a bowl, mix the cream cheese, crab meat, scallions, and soy sauce until well combined. Place about 1 tsp 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 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Finish the rice: Fluff with a form and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the General Tso’s Chicken with rice, crab rangoon, fortune cookie, and coconut water.
