2 TSPs garlic, minced
1 TSP Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional)
1/2 TBSP sugar

Cook the wontons: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water to boil over medium-high heat.
Add wontons and gently stir with a spatula, and make sure that they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
Cook until water begins to boil again, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup cold water and bring to a boil again.
Cook until the wontons float to the top, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the wontons to a plate with a strainer.
Make the chili oil sauce: Mix together the chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional), and sugar.
Assemble the chili oil wontons: Slowly pour the chili oil sauce over the wontons and gently stir to coat the wontons.
Sprinkle peanuts, sesame seeds and cilantro on top.
Serve immediately.
