In the dining hall that has "The Pizza's Pasta" in it, one of the counters serves dishes in these great plastic trays that have compartments in them. I'm not sure why I find these trays so appealing, but I do. They remind me of the stiff cardboard disposable plates we sometimes used for picnics or barbecues, which also were divided into little sections so that your macaroni salad wouldn't cohabit with your corn on the cob.
The main dish, in this case, is the fried breaded cutlet thing with the white sauce on it. Since it is inherently neither rice nor soup, both rice and soup are served with it.
In the picture below, I've got a fried rice dish, which comes with soup, while Erma has a hot stew dish, which comes with rice.
Erma's dish, incidentally, came from this counter:
A closer look at the sign
shows that the name is Ppogeul Ppogeul 뽀글뽀글, which is just an onomatopoetic "burble burble" reminiscent of the boiling-hot stews that are served up there. It reminded us of the similarly-named Korean restaurant on Telegraph in Berkeley called Beogeul Beogeul 버글버글, which was cleverly Romanized as Berkel Berkel.
Just to beat the point into the ground, here's Erma yet again with a spicy hot stew.
It's important to note, however, that there are some important corollaries to CoURSE. One is that if a soup is primarily a noodle soup, then the noodles count as the equivalent of rice. That's the case with these two noodle soup dishes:
Oh, and we saw this guy in the dining hall. Your guess is as good as mine.
