I learned from a Chinese man at a Chinese buffet when I was a kid. He saw me struggling, and came over and showed me. As he clicked the ends together, he said "chop chop." I will never forget that nice man 😂

This is actually the first chopstick tutorial I've ever seen to actually make sense because it starts with the bottom one! All others I've seen are like "grip the top one like a pencil then slip the other one in inside the thumb" and that's the story of why I've always been bad at chopsticks 😅

[@sweettee8110]

Same 😂. I can use them good enough to grab my food and eat it. I'm definitely going to practice this way.

[@lilyflower39]

[@carolinepierson6776]

I was fostered by a Chinese family as a small child and learned to use chopsticks before a knife and folk. I got out of the habit as I got older but will always take the opportunity to use them. Great tutorial thank you.

[@emberho3426]

Lucky you. I am 55 five, European, trying hard, but I am unable to learn it. My fingers do not move. I am too clumsy

[@laylahahmad6468]

Wait Chinese foster other children from different countries? I thought it’s only the opposite

[@roguerangerroger]

One other small tip to remember: no need for excessive force. Just squeeze enough for the food to be held in between the chopsticks.

[@none8708]

It is also important to hold near the end of the stick. I see some people holding them at half way or closer to the tip. Makes it much harder to work.

[@Susweca5569]

I'm not Asian, but my father would not allow us to have any Chinese takeout food unless we used chopsticks exclusively, so I learned to use them as a toddler. His rationale was that if you ate an ethnic cuisine, you ate it the same way the people who made it would eat it.

I definitely was using my Chopsticks incorrectly I don't use them often but looking at your video I see I was using them incorrectly I was laying both chopsticks on the same finger. I knew that the back one didn't seem to have to move but still I didn't have them separated on two different fingers like I was supposed to so thank you very much.

Our first grade teacher in Seattle had us all learn to use chopsticks at lunch time, we did this the whole school year. Funny to watch us eating sandwiches, oreos, chips and an sppke, but it worked, 55 years later I still use them with ease. Best teaching experience.

[@GohAhweh]

I have tried to explain this to people so many times and some people just can't do it.. I picked it up right away.. But I started eating with chopsticks when I was 7 years old..

Thank you! I have been trying to figure this out for years. Always the "clumsy American" when at my girlfriend's house for meals (they are immigrants from mainland China), no matter how much I try to get it right (yes, at home by myself, too). 😅 This actually makes sense. Thank you! Can't wait to try it this way.

[@therealnancycarol]

I can use them, not exactly like that, but good enough to pick up a grain of rice. I do it my way, which isn't something people would notice I don't think and personally I love them. I use them whenever I can. They are great for grabbing a pickle or an olive from a jar too. Great fun! Thanks, Mandy. It never hurts to learn new things! 💕💕💕

[@oltedders]

If you're not holding your chopsticks correctly you stick out like a sore thumb to those who know how they are held. And yes, it's very annoying seeing them held incorrectly.

[@coolenaam]

my hand must be different, because if I do this the bottom one slides up my ring finger and the chopsticks cross each other

[@emihayashi7725]

coolensam, You aren't applying enough pressure on the bottom chopstick with ringfinger and thumb. Press up with your ring finger and down with base of thumb to prevent slipping/sliding. It takes practice to strengthen your ringfinger, try picking up things with it and thumb for a few days

The practically efficient technique of holding a pair of chopsticks 🥢 is to use the upper portion of the thumb to press a chopstick on the tip of the middle finger and use the centre portion of the same thumb to press another chopstick on the tip of the ring finger. You're capable of moving both of the two chopsticks 🥢 in question simultaneously.
