While the meat cooks, combine the oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl. Whisk the sauce ingredients until smooth.
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook the sauce for 2 minutes.
