Assemble the dumplings: Lay a round wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Gently spread the filling out evenly across the wrapper, leaving a small border (about 1/4 inch) of the wrapper exposed around the edges. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Pan-fry the dumplings: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the assembled dumplings into the hot pan, filling-side down. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Cook until golden: Pan-fry the dumplings for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the bottom (which is the filling side) is golden brown and crispy. The edges of the wrapper will also become slightly crispy. Remove the cooked dumplings from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Repeat and serve: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and repeat the pan-frying process with the remaining dumplings. Once all dumplings are cooked, arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped green onions and serve immediately with chili oil for dipping.
