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
