Why does so much asian Japanese and Korean food look like food scraps thrown in a bowl on rice?

This. I work in a Korean BBQ restaurant and that's literally what the busser cart trash cans look like.

Rice is popular in asia for two reasons:
1) Caloric content
2) Rice farming is still very labor intensive (keeps all those chink peasants busy).

I understand why rice is a staple in Asia, that's not where the confusion lies. Europeans relied on various kinds of grain flowers (wheat, barley, etc) and so that's everywhere still. I'm just wondering what the deal with having one or two fucking leafs or bits of a bunch of different things is a thing.

White rice was expensive, many poorer people either ate Millet or barley or mixed it with white rice. It's a staple but rather much like sugar or gelatin or ice was in higher class families in the west.
