Simmered Potatoes and Tuna is a flavorful dish where potatoes and canned tuna are gently cooked in a sweet soy broth. The broth, reduced to a rich sauce consistency, beautifully coats the potatoes, enhancing their taste. To allow the umami of the tuna and seasonings to meld with the vegetables, it’s best to let the dish cool before serving. It’s incredibly easy to make and budget-friendly, yet it’s still a delightful side dish for any meal. Hope you enjoy it!
