Sweet onions in chinese plates

    Something I've often wondered.

    When I've ordered something basic like Chop Suey dishes from
    Chinese takeaways in the past I've often enjoyed the onions
    and found them lovely and sweet.

    Now, I am sure they are standard onions (not red or green/scallions).
    Their scallions/green onions are also nice in dishes (eg, ginger/spring
    onion) but how do they get that sweetness into standard fare onions?

    Might it be a little bit of rice wine ? sherry ? or sugar ?
    Strangely sometimes I've been really hungry and the one memorable
    savourable memory of those chinese dishes were the juicy and
    slightly sweet onions. yumm.

    Any ideas ?

    Blanching them in boiling water before cooking in a sauce acheives that texture & flavour. :)
