Press out ginger juice (see below); whisk in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, and 1 cup water; set sauce aside.

Cook's Note
To make ginger juice, place finely grated ginger in a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl. With a spoon, press down firmly until juices are released. Discard the solids.
