No idea what this is, Japanese friend gave it to me.

1. Looks like pickled mustard greens (takana). Probably fine even past the best-by date. Try a small amount on a bowl of hot rice as a condiment.

2. It looks like the expiration date is two years past.It makes you think a little bit whether you can eat it or not.

3. So this is takana aburaitame, 高菜油炒め。It’s stir fried mustard greens. If it was just regular takanazuke (takana pickles, 高菜漬け) then maaaybe it’d be ok, but the oil in this might have gone rancid. I’d be cautious, since it’s been expired for like 2 years.
