Why do my onions lose their flavor when I steam them/saute them on water? (lemmy.ml)

They keep their flavor when I fry them, but I'd like to cut down on fried things.

@SubArcticTundra Because the flavor goes into the water! That's why soup broth tastes good. Try chopping up half an onion, boiling for 10 minutes in a pot with enough water to cover them, then taste the water.
