In a small bowl, whisk the mirin or wine with the cornstarch until it's completely smooth; set this slurry aside.

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Continue stirring for about 1 minute, letting the liquids warm through.
Increase the heat to medium-high.
If the pan seems dry, add a splash of extra broth or water if necessary to prevent sticking.
