Assemble the Wontons: Lay out the square wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Take a small amount of the meat and vegetable filling and spread a thin, even layer onto each wonton wrapper. Ensure the filling is thin to allow for even cooking. Leave the wontons 'open-faced' without folding or sealing them.

Cook the Wontons: Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush a thin layer of vegetable oil onto the pan. Carefully place the open-faced wontons into the hot pan, meat side down. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Continue Cooking: Cook the wontons for 2-3 minutes on the meat side, or until the meat is browned and cooked through. Before flipping, brush a small amount of vegetable oil onto the wrapper side. Flip the wontons and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the wrapper side is golden brown and crispy.

Repeat and Serve: Transfer the cooked wontons to a serving plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining wontons, adding more vegetable oil to the pan as needed. Once all wontons are cooked, drizzle chili oil over the top for extra flavor. Serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce in a separate small bowl. Instruct guests to fold the wontons in half, like a taco, and dip into the sauce.
