Prepare the chili dipping sauce: In a heatproof bowl, combine the 1 stalk of thinly sliced green onions, minced garlic, and sliced bird's eye chilies. In a small saucepan, heat the 1/4 cup neutral oil over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke (around 350-375°F). Carefully pour the hot oil over the green onions, garlic, and chilies in the bowl. This will sizzle and release their aromas. Once the sizzling subsides, add the chili oil, Chinese black vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and toasted sesame seeds. Stir well to combine. Set aside.

Wrap the wontons: Take one yellow wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten all four edges of the wrapper. Place about 1 teaspoon of the wonton filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing out any air and sealing the edges. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlapping them slightly, and dab a little water to seal them, creating a boat-like shape. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. Place wrapped wontons on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.

Cook the wontons: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the wrapped wontons to the boiling water in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Cook until the wontons float to the surface, then continue to boil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to ensure the filling is fully cooked through.
