Wrap the wontons: Have a small bowl of water ready for sealing. Take one wonton wrapper and lightly wet all four edges with water. Form a 'C' shape with your non-dominant hand and drape the wrapper over it. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Use the spoon to gently push the filling down into the 'C' of your hand. Carefully pinch the wrapper around the filling to seal it, creating a 'purse' or 'flower' shape. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

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, making sure not to overcrowd the pot (cook in batches if necessary). Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Cook until the wontons float to the surface, then continue boiling for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to ensure the filling is fully cooked through. Remove the cooked wontons with a slotted spoon and place them in serving bowls.

Assemble the chili dipping sauce: Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan until it is shimmering and very hot (about 350-375°F). Carefully pour the hot oil over the aromatics in the heatproof bowl from Step 3. This will sizzle and release their flavors. Stir in the chili oil, Chinese black vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and sesame seeds. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
