How do you handle one bite?

Right now, I'm mainly eating Korean food, which usually consists of rice, soup, and side dishes, right?

I scoop the rice, sip the soup, and eat the side dishes.

But sometimes, I eat the rice and side dishes first and then take a bit longer to get to the soup ingredients, and it makes me wonder how to handle that one bite situation.

So I end up just loading my spoon with rice and side dishes or mixing the rice into the soup.

How do you all deal with this?
