How To Use Chopsticks?

Gather your materials in the first step.

These supplies may include (but are not limited to) the following items:

-A clean pair of chopsticks

-Test the meal you’re going to eat.

Note: Your sample meal should be around the same size and shape as a little wooden block.

Step 2: Place the chopstick in your dominant (writing) hand.

Allow your ring finger to rest on the chopstick.

Wrap your middle finger around the chopstick at the top.

To give the chopstick more stability, place your thumb on it.

It’s important to keep in mind that your chopsticks should be strong and not readily moved.

Step 3: Insert the other chopstick into your writing or dominant hand with your non-writing (or non-dominant) hand.

Between the thumb and forefinger or pointer finger, place the second chopstick.

Step 4: Place the chopsticks in your hands. Between your thumb and forefinger is where you should put your thumb and forefinger (or Pointer Finger)

Get used to gripping the pair of chopsticks in your one hand.

Note that the chopstick between your thumb and forefinger should not be held in the same position as the other chopstick. You should be able to move it up and down with ease.

Step 5: Experiment with raising and lowering the top chopstick.

Begin pushing down with your forefinger (or pointer finger) to move the chopstick downwards while keeping the bottom chopstick securely in place.

This is how you’ll keep eating under control.

Relax your forefinger to raise the chopstick again (or pointer finger).

Step 6: Experiment with picking up your food.

Make a circle with your chopsticks around the dish you want to take up.

Then go back to Step 5 and repeat the motion.

You want to gain control over your food.

Step 7: Gently bring food to your mouth.

As you bring the meal you’re carrying towards your lips, keep your hand as stable as possible.

WARNING: Do not try to carry the food by squeezing the chopsticks together. Food may fly out of your chopsticks as a result of the chopsticks twisting towards each other.

Step 8: Consume Your Sample Meals

Eat the food you’re holding in between your chopsticks once the sample food is close to your mouth.

Step 9: Continue with Steps 6–8 until all of the food has been consumed.
