Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place the tip of the piping bag over the center of the wrapper and squeeze out about 1 teaspoon of filling. Quickly gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling and pinch firmly to seal, forming a round, purse-like wonton. No water is needed for sealing with this method. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. Place finished wontons on a lightly floured baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the wontons in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.

While the wontons are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the chili oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds.
