Tuna Potato in Soy Sauce

This dish is so simple you'll be surprise how good it taste. Unlike the usual braised potato dishes that can be pretty heavy on the palate, this one taste remarkably light. I think it has something to do with the addition of vinegar at the end of the cooking.
Ingredients:
3 potatos, peeled and cut into big chunks
1 can tuna in oil, drain off the oil
100ml water
1Tbsp japanese soy sauce
1Tbsp soju (japanese wine)
1Tbsp mirin
1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp vinegar
chopped spring onions (for garnishing)
Method:
1. Place potatoes and tuna in a saucepan. Add in water, soy sauce, soju, mirin and sugar.
2. Cover the saucepan and cook till potatoes have softened. Add in vinegar and cook for another minute or two.
3. Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve.
Note:
1. I've increased the water by 50ml as I like to have a bit more sauce to go with the rice.
2. It is not necessary to add in the sugar. The use of mirin has given the dish sufficient sweetness.
