Chinese olive vegetable is an utterly addictive condiment made with a combination of cooked mustard greens and Canarium album, a semi-tropical fruit resembling an olive, but not related. There are several brands available from Asian grocers; look for Sin Guo Olive Vegetable Hong Kong or HP Brand Olive Vegetable.
