How to use CHOPSTICKS correctly in 3 mintues!

Me: *is meant to be sleeping*
My head: we need to learn how to use chopsticks properly

[BlueBird]

I tried using chopsticks and I couldn’t do it. One night I got super drunk and I want to eat pasta but I didn’t have any forks. So I used chopsticks. I learned how to use it in a drunk mess. Now I’m a pro at using them. I can cook and eat with them like any natural born Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese etc

Thank you for this, you will never understand how much I appreciate it. I've been trying to learn how to use chopsticks for years and every time I give it a go and fail, I end up convincing myself that maybe my brain is not wired correctly to do it.

Today was one of those days when I decided to give it a go and you mentioned something that no one has ever mentioned in my chopstick learning journey - you mentioned that the bottom stick is for support and not meant to move. As soon as I put it to practice all over sudden everything works. I even went and got some rice from my cupboard and I can pick up grains of rice after a few tries.

My wrist at the base of my thumb and the bit on my ring finger where the support chopstick start aching after a minute or two, but I'm sure with practice my fingers will get stronger and I'll have enough confidence to not hold it as tight.

Again, thank you.

Its really hard for me to grab something from chopsticks. I'm asian but i grew up abroad so its really embarrassing that i can't use chopsticks during family gathering dinner.
I hope to learn from this.
Thankyou very much💕

Chopsticks were developed about 5, 000 years ago in China. The earliest versions were probably twigs used to retrieve food from cooking pots. Around 400 BC, chefs figured out how to conserve fuel by cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.
This new method of cooking made it unnecessary to have knives at the dinner table—a practice that also jibed with the non-violent teachings of Confucius, as expressed in one of his numerous quotable quotations: "The honorable and upright man keeps well away from both the slaughterhouse and the kitchen. And he allows no knives on his table."

During the Chinese dynastic times, silver chopsticks were sometimes used because it was believed they would turn black if they came in contact with poisoned food. This practice must have led to some unfortunate misunderstandings—it's now known that silver has no reaction to arsenic or cyanide, but can change color if it comes into contact with garlic, onions, or rotten eggs, all of which release hydrogen sulfide.

By 500 AD, chopsticks had spread to Japan, and Korea. Early Japanese chopsticks were used strictly for religious ceremonies, and were made from one piece of bamboo joined at the top, like tweezers.

I pick up my reading glasses with chopsticks now.

I'm one of the few British people who prefers chopsticks to cutlery 😂

[blacksorrento]

Thank you for this upload.
I spent an evening in Japan with a very patient Japanese man who was sitting alongside us at the restaurant my husband and I were at, trying to teach me.
We had a few laughs at my expense due to my unsuccessful attempts. Eventually I asked for a fork before my meal got cold. However with your tutorial I will endeavour to practice each day, until I become accomplished at eating a full meal without embarrassing myself.

I really want to learn Korean. Such an amazing language. I absolutely LOVE the way it sounds. I hope one day I can visit seoul ❤️

My mom and I have been so into Chinese and Korean dramas for the past 2 to 3 years, especially Korean. And we get into days where we crave Asia food and try to make or buy as many dishes and set up like the Kdrama. For me particularly it will be so nice and a huge accomplishment to learn and eat meals with chopsticks, that way I’ll feel more Korean in my African body 😊💕. Cuz I so love the culture!

[chrisb.h]

I'd love to visit Korea one day, mainly to cycle, as it looks like such a beautiful country .. I need to learn these things first... thanks for your lesson...
