1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
2. In another bowl or measuring cup, mix the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved to create a cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
3. Heat a medium-sized pan or wok over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until aromatic, being careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and stir to combine with the garlic and ginger.
6. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
7. Stir in the rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Remove from heat and use immediately as a stir-fry sauce, or let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
