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

Sweet Onions and Tuna Japanese Spring Potato Salad Sweet Onions and Tuna Japanese Spring Potato Salad
I usually use onions and tuna because I like them stir-fried together. I thought it would be delicious if I used sweet onions and mixed fluffy spring potatoes with soy sauce. That's how it all came about.I added the soy sauce in two batches to enjoy its flavor.I recommend you mix the potatoes when they're hot while making sure not to mash them too much.Please adjust the cooking time for the potatoes since it can vary according to size.You can boil or steam the potatoes instead of microwaving them. For 4 serving. Recipe by creamcrepe cookpad.japan
