Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and sesame oil to the saucepan.
Continue to stir for another 2 minutes until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.
Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired thickness.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve as a dip, drizzle, or marinade for your favorite dishes.
