Place the oil in the pan over medium high heat. Add the ginger and cook gently for about 4 minutes. Do not let the ginger get too hot - just simmer gently.
Place the garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and pepper in the pan and swirl. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Remove and let cool.

Toss until well coated and chill.
