These are mini fried sticks (氣炸鍋油條, "air fryer youtiao"), the Chinese fried dough sticks often eaten at breakfast. The bag's own text says "ready in 5 minutes" and "keep frozen at -18°C or below." The picture on the front shows them served as a breakfast dish.
To cook them, the package indicates an air fryer, which is the easiest route. Heat the air fryer, lay the frozen pieces in a single layer without crowding, and cook until hot and crisp, roughly 5 minutes, checking partway through since timing varies by model. Let them cool briefly before eating.
The classic way to eat youtiao is with warm soy milk or congee, or tucked into a rice roll or a sandwich. Some people also cut them into pieces and dip them into sweetened soy milk. They're best eaten fresh, while still crisp.
