Chillies -very much part of our Chinese Cuisine. If dried chillies are specified in a recipe, they should be soaked in warm water to soften prior to grinding. An excellent substitute prior to grinding. An excellent substitute for freshly ground chilies is marketed by Conimex under the name Sambal Oelek. Use 1 teaspoon for 2 or 3 fresh red chillies.

Onions- Tiny fragrant red onions, or shallots are used in many recipes. Large red Spanish onion, or brown onions, can  be substituted (1 large onion = 8-10 small red onion). Spring onions required in some recipes are the same as green onions, that is, the long stalks which are one like miniature leeks, with a white base and green tops.
