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 😅
This is terrific. I’m self-taught and have eaten with chopsticks daily for many years. I’ve gotten proficient with my dexterity but I’ve death gripped them and I’m getting cramps. I was holding them practically one on top of the other!
I learned from my Chinese best friend when we were both 7-8 years old. I used to eat all the time at his mother's restaurant. Now when I eat Chinese food I always think of him.
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.
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.
Love this; also grew up in WA, my kindergarten teacher would always bring new and different foods for snack time. My absolute favorite was baked tofu triangles with ponzu sauce; we only ever had it once, but even now over two decades later I remember it fondly.
I learned how to use chopsticks during lockdown. I used wooden chopsticks to train, started from picking up random things such as erasers and rice grains. Rice grain picking helps a lot ❤
I genuinely adore basic tutorials like this... like I get along fine while eating, yet mindfully practicing the gripping tips feel much more secure with the larger wooden cooking chopsticks I use with a wok 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 keep up the great ideas and content
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.
so glad you shared this short. I'm not sure if my grip has at all been correct but it hasn't stopped me from using or finishing up a meal yet. Maybe with this lesson, I can improve upon my chopsticks stills to start using them to cook with.
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! 💕💕💕
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.
I don't know why because I am American of German mix decent & have never known anyone Chinese, but just by picking them up my hand automatically knew how to do it😮!?? I have no problem with chunks of meat or vegetables but I just can't master rice😢!! I think I might squeeze too hard? But I keep trying❤!!!
@@OddDuck9000He meant we don't use it as frequently as East Asians use it for their daily meals. We mostly use our hands, spoons, or forks depending on the dish we are eating. Chopsticks are used only for the time we go for East Asian cuisine. But not everybody can use them, as they are hard to use. I like to use them for snacks too, to avoid getting my hands dirty lol.
@@Nikita3909 i never said american, british and french people are known for using chopsticks. are you stupid? use your eyes and actually read correctly, i only said completely normal humans that still have their fingers can use chopsticks. that's all i said.
South Asian especially India,Bangladesh,Pakistan doesn't use chopsticks a little bit in daily life. Not even in occasion, we use it in Chinese or korean restaurants. That's one of the reason why people doesn't know how to use chopsticks in these countries. It's not our culture.
Taught my daughter how-to use these over 40 years ago ... love using and eating with chopsticks ... even adds flava to the dish .... in my mind & heart!!! : ))) Wish I could post how my grandmama taught me to eat collards, mustards, cornbread & red beans with my fingers ... Ahhh! The beauty of cultures!! Thanks, Mandi!!!
Same here. I've been using them since I was around 8. My dad (who was Ir ish American lol) insisted that I learn different skills like that. Now at 40 they're just a part of the kitchen, and stopped being a novelty a long time ago.
@@itsjoannotjoann5070 Well, one could also say: "Why should we use knives and forks? We're civilized enough to know how to use chopsticks. No need to use deadly weapons such as a knife to feed yourself."
Thank you so much. I have always loved using chop sticks. I tried to teach myself. I got the hang of it, I found for me it helps me to eat much slower.
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
My nana grew up in Vietnam and Taiwan before moving to the US where she had my stepdad, she says i’m the only one in the family that uses chopsticks correctly and i am the only black person in my family😂

First time using chop stick it came naturally...until I dropped a shrimp into the soy sauce and splashed it on my white shirt...lol.

@@kristingallo2158 lmao
easy this is very easy i have been using chopsticks for 8 years and i was having trouble but this made me do it under 8 minutes
Pov - you have no chopsticks but still watching 🙂
Reason is we are from country where we have metal spoon to eat
Uss
Just in case
I have numerous chopsticks.
I made 2 minute noodles, didn’t realise all the forks were in the dishwasher, I have paintbrushes, now here I am.
There are many videos of how to use chopsticks incorrectly, but yours is correct and beautiful.

Same 😂. I can use them good enough to grab my food and eat it. I'm definitely going to practice this way.
Same here 😸
Same here, thanks for this tutorial
funny coz the way i hold a pencil is the way to hold the 2nd chopstick
I'm not patient on it... Spoiled my mood to eat 😔
Thanks for being such a great teacher. Finally, I can use chop sticks!!
Why do I still find it so hard 😭
Yes bro😭😭😭
We don't have any luck😢😢😢
Practice makes perfect.

This is terrific. I’m self-taught and have eaten with chopsticks daily for many years. I’ve gotten proficient with my dexterity but I’ve death gripped them and I’m getting cramps. I was holding them practically one on top of the other!
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.
Thank youuuuuu the directions are so thorough on what to do I finally learned 😅❤
Perfect! When you say it like that !
Thank you 🌹😇✨

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