Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice the onion. It doesn't need to be too thin. Peel the potatoes and cut each into 5-6 pieces.
- 2
Put all the ingredients marked with an asterisk (*) in a frying pan and heat. Once the oil from the tuna is distributed, add water and seasonings, cover, and simmer over medium heat.
- 3
When the potatoes are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, add a small pinch of butter and salt, and shake the frying pan (or pot).
- 4
Once the edges of the potatoes are rounded, it's done. Simmering over medium heat should make the potatoes tender just as the liquid is almost gone!
- 5
The butter adds richness, but feel free to adjust to your liking.

Tuna and Potatoes with Lots of Onions Tuna and Potatoes with Lots of Onions
When I made simmered tuna and potatoes the usual way (with dashi stock, soy sauce, sake, and mirin), the sweet onions tasted a bit too sweet to me... so I omitted what I could to make this really simple. I think it still tastes really delicious.To highlight the umami of the tuna, the sweetness of the onion, and the fragrance of the shiso leaves, I've simplified the flavor. If you use regular onions and don't feel there's enough sweetness, add a little mirin to adjust the flavor to your taste. For 1 to 2 servings. Recipe by Optea cookpad.japan -
