As a substitute for mirin, mix 1 tablespoon white wine, dry sherry, or vermouth with 1 teaspoon sugar.
Tomato paste can be substituted, but you may want to include 1-3 teaspoons of granulated sugar to sweeten it a little.

If the sauce is too thick to your liking, add 1 teaspoon cold water until desired consistency.
