Spring onions, chopped
Fried shallots

Just in case u readers dun get wat i meant by ti po, this is how it looks like. Ti po is actually pronounced in hokkien. Its called pian yu gan (dried flat fish) by the chinese.
Grind the to po into powder using the traditional grinder. This was being passed down by my grandmother. Whenever we need to pound spices or dried shrimps, this would come into use.
