Question

Learning how to eat with chopsticks is not as difficult as it appears, and like all things in life, practice makes perfect! Follow the simple steps down below and practice often, soon you will also be eating smoothly.

Chinese food is often prepared and served in small size pieces, which makes it easy when eating with chopsticks.

How do you use chopsticks?

(1) Hold the first chopstick between your fourth and middle fingers. This chopstick keeps still, and it does not move. Your thumb should help keep it in place.

(2) Make the second chopstick slide (滑動) between your thumb and index fingers. You move this chopstick by moving the index finger up and down. This movement will open and close the chopsticks, which is how you will pick up food.

As you practice, you will develop your “own” skills, and find out what works better for you. There is no right or wrong way in fact. Like holding a pencil, many people do it differently but the only goal is to write. With chopsticks, the goal is to get food in your mouth.
