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.

"saute on water"?

How's that different than steaming or boiling

I think they mean pan streaming. And the difference is the flavor that is leached by the water will be limited, or the left over water would be used in a sauce.

Yes, that was the word I was looking for
