Japanese Cucumber-Onion Pork Salad

Chef #880037's Note:

This is a Japanese family recipe. Any fresh cucumber that you would put in a salad can substitute for Japanese cucumbers. If the onions are bitter, soak the thin slices in water for about 15 minutes or until bitterness is gone and drain them thoroughly. Less oil can be used in non-stick pans. Serve with rice.
