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.

I'm not sure, but I know that when a family member had to do a low FODMAP diet, they couldn't eat things with onions in them. But onion infused oil was fine because the sugars in the onion were water soluble, but not fat soluble so the oil didn't contain the component they were avoiding. https://www.monashfodmap.com/blog/all-about-onion-garlic-and-infused-oils-on-the-low-fodmap-diet/

Not sure it's related but it's the first thing I thought of.
