If it is from a Korean restaurant, it could be some kimchi although kimchi is normally served as side dish. If it tastes spicy and fermented, then it is likely kimchi.
@NativePortlander1970 I love that stuff but is better eaten when you are all by yourself. The smell of it gets out of every single pore of your body and may be a nuisance to most people not familiar with kimchi.
@Gibbon I Love coleslaw and caramelized sauerkraut and onions on brats, not together of course, but reheating kimchi in employee lunch rooms should be banned.
It looks like bean sprouts and a piece of bacon. You see this on a lot of Japanese and Chinese dishes as well. The lonely white piece across the top of the dish could be squid.
@BabyDolls It’s 100% involved in the dish, I just didn’t see any other information about it apart from it being one of the basic side dishes that the restaurant provides with the entrée
