I don't remember which recipe but I heat white vinegar with sugar and salt and pour the hot mixture over the sliced onions. For me, it really mellows out.
Yeah, just the blanching of the onions takes out a lot of the bite. I usually use apple cider vinegar, salt, and no sugar, and sometimes lime juice and jalapenos, because I'm typically making them for Mexican food. I could see yours having a different flavor.
