How do I prepare these?

Hi everyone.

My boyfriend brought some food back from Japan for us to try. Two of the things he brought back I dont know what to do with. I translated the labels but it just lists ingredients and no directions as far as I can tell.

Its two items, i included photos of the front and back of each

I think they are meant to be cooked and maybe I have to add water or broth to them? Or maybe i just heat them up? Or maybe i do just eat them cold as is? Im really not sure but super excited to try them!

If anyone knows how I am supposed to prepare them i would appreciate the guidance. Thanks

Okay so i now know that these aren't main dishes, but condiments! I will try them with white rice like a couple commenters suggested. Are there any other foods that these condiments are commonly used with?

  1. They are condiments (like kimchi or sauerkraut). There’s no need to prepare them. Have them as a side to rice or use them as pickles placed on the side of an entree dish.

  2. Take them out (miso part too) in a container. Make white rice. put the pickle on a hot white rice. Enjoy.

  3. I love the fact you bought this mystery bag with little idea of what to do with it. I did the same thing with a similar bag of pickles.
