Red Pepper Flakes - Adjust as per your spice levels.
Garlic - Added for flavor.
Maple Syrup - Added for sweetness, you can also use brown sugar.
Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar - Give the perfect balance to the sauce.
Hot water - In my store bought sauce they usually use olive oil for the sauce. However, I just prefer hot water as it's perfect and economical too.
