Purple Onions 1kg
Also known as Red Onions
Crisp, vibrant, and naturally sweet when cooked, purple onions bring color and gentle bite to salads, salsas, stir-fries and noodle bowls. Slice them thin for a fresh crunch, or cook low and slow to unlock deep caramelized sweetness.
Why you’ll love it
- Beautiful purple hue that adds instant color to any dish.
- Milder bite than brown onions when raw; turns sweet and silky when cooked.
- Versatile across cuisines: quick pickles, stir-fries, soups, noodles, and grills.
- Great for layering flavors with soy, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili.
How to enjoy
Quick‑pickled purple onions Low‑calorie
Toss thin slices with Hengshun White Rice Vinegar 500ml, a pinch of white sugar and salt. Rest 10–15 minutes. Spoon over grain bowls, grilled meats, or noodles for bright crunch.
Beef, onion & bell pepper stir‑fry
Sear Angus Beef Strip 500g hot and fast; add onion wedges and Green Bell Peppers. Splash in light soy sauce and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve with rice or noodles.
Soy‑braised tofu, onion & bok choy vermicelli
Stir‑fry onion with cubes of Ever Green Classic Tofu 500g and Shanghai bok choy, then glaze with oyster sauce and a splash of water. Toss through cooked rice vermicelli.
Shiitake‑onion ramen topper
Gently caramelize sliced onions with shiitake until sweet. Pile onto hot Hakata ramen and finish with a spoon of spicy chili oil.
Prep Tips
- For milder raw flavor, soak sliced onions in cold water for 5–10 minutes, then drain well.
- Stir‑fry over high heat for 2–4 minutes to keep some crunch; cook low and slow 15–25 minutes for deep caramelization.
- Cut root‑to‑tip for firmer slices that hold shape in stir‑fries and grills.
- Add a splash of vinegar or soy near the end of cooking to brighten or deepen flavor.
Pairs well
- Oyster mushrooms and shiitake for earthy depth.
- Green bell peppers for classic stir‑fries.
- Firm tofu and soy‑glazes.
- Light soy sauce, sesame oil, and Zhenjiang vinegar.

Street Address Only
We can deliver only to physical street addresses. PO Boxes, parcel lockers, concierge mailrooms, and newsagents can’t accept our chilled parcels, so please provide a residential or business street address.
Delivery Access
Couriers deliver to ground-floor reception areas or your doorstep. We’re unable to take lifts or stairs to upper levels, so please make sure someone can meet the driver on the ground floor or your instructions allow a safe drop at street level.
Failed Delivery — What We Do
- We call or text on arrival. If we can’t reach you, we follow the instructions you gave us (for example, a safe drop location if building rules allow it).
- If access is restricted or a safe drop isn’t possible, the driver brings the order back. We don’t offer redelivery on the same order.
- The order will be cancelled; the $8 delivery fee, a $10 handling fee and the value of any fresh/perishable goods that can’t be restocked will be deducted.
- We refund the remaining balance to the original payment method and issue a $5 coupon as a goodwill gesture.
