Combine the maple syrup, tamari, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and ground ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze in a separate small bowl for finishing.
