Lmao, that’s a good one omg! Even I can’t pick up cranberry sauce with chopsticks🤣🤣🤣 mash potato is the max i can do and it also depends on the texture too😂 let’s stick with spoon on that next year lol poor kids( def fun to watch tho)
This has good description / explanation & visuals. Im practicing with 1/4" diameter x 12" long unfinished dowel sticks. Therefore easier to hold non slip and practice practice practice
Wow, you put a lot of thought into this! i love it! I can see you master it very soon! When you feel comfortable about these dowel sticks, you can start practicing with reusable wooden chopsticks. they are also easy to grab and use, not slippery, but shape more like a chopstick (with one end thinner than the other end) lmk how it goes~
Thanks you~ I bet you've master it by now~ so here's a full video on Chopsticks explaining if you're interested! I promise you'll learn smth new today, and you'll get to brag that fact to your friends next time haha ruclips.net/video/niGiiOgtxXE/видео.htmlsi=WptT_-9mak4x9RG9 thanks for watching~
That’s completely fine too, you can definitely survive without learning new things in today’s world, the true questions in are you adventurous or not with life, it’s a choice😊
Man, I’m Mexican through and through, and since I was little and I loved Chinese food my mom took me to Chinese restaurants and one time a really nice lady taught me how to eat with chopsticks. Now I’m an adult on my own, I got forks and spoons but most of my flatware is chopsticks. They’re easier to clean, store, and it always shocks people how easily I eat with them when I invite people over

But the strength might take a little practice - Yes ma'am. Learnt it, then got sick for a month after that and lost all my strength. Tried eating again with the chopsticks and it took some getting used to cuz I had no strength in me and I kept dropping the food or they would get twisted... This is after perfecting it... So, yeah, needs constant practice and brushing up the skill/leveling up... To heavier foods for finger strength and dexterity. 🙏🏻
Oh, you can find very similar ones on amazon, just type in wooden chopsticks, the length are all very similar and souldn't matter while using, unless you're looking to use for cooking and want to stay away from heat, then you can find cooking long chopsticks, tho they did take more strength to hold so instead I just use tongs, hope it helps
I’ve grown up using learning chopsticks. Those plastic mold ones. When I stopped using them, I couldn’t hold my hand the way I was supposed to and like you’re doing in the video. It’s physically impossible for me to do that. So I Oml use my pointer finger for the top chopstick and the others for the bottom one
Oh that's also a common way ppl do it, as long as you can pick up your food, there's no correct or wrong way~ BTW, Here's a full video on Chopsticks explaining, check it out if you're interested! I promise you'll learn smth new today ruclips.net/video/niGiiOgtxXE/видео.htmlsi=WptT_-9mak4x9RG9 thanks for watching~
I mean idk I don’t do wood work but i think it’s easier to find sticks than smth shape like a spoon or let alone carve one. But is the point here about you don’t wanna learn chopsticks? No pressure man, you don’t have to gain any skill you don’t want 😊
Omg hhh it’s to funny wahh , yesterday here in Malaysia , I was invited to eat at a Chinese restaurant, and there were Chinese chopsticks 😁, and I don't really know how to use it haha, it became funny and comical at the time , and now omg I saw you up here 😁 Something tells me that I really needs to learn how to use chopsticks , BTW you are doing great 😍 thanks
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to learn for a while since I’m wanting to try more things that would usually require chopsticks I’m using pencils to practice since I don’t think I have chopsticks at home Update: Turns out I do have chopsticks, and I managed to eat a bowl of ramen with the chopsticks without much struggle and I’m very proud of myself
Yeeessss!!!!! starting with a bowl of noodle is brave! I'm proud of you too!!! now you got the skill, all that matter is just the strength that will come overtime with practice. you've got this!
That's actually what a lot of people do, but make sure you don't do that in Japan or in a Highend Japanese restaurant, impaling food is considered impolite in Japanese chopsticks etiquette... Here's a full video on Chopsticks that you can learn the reason why:) ruclips.net/video/niGiiOgtxXE/видео.htmlsi=WptT_-9mak4x9RG9
I bought this spacific one in a local Japanese grocery store around me, but you can find wood chopstick very easily on Amazon! I'll make another short in the future on how to choose the right chopsticks for you, if you're interest~ don't forget to subscribe and come back:)
Wow grapes? lol that's some challenge right there! after you master it, switch to quil egg in boiling soup, if you get that, you're basically Asian haha, cuz that's about the hardest skill you'll ever need. BTW, Here's a full video on Chopsticks explaining, check it out if you're interested! I promise you'll learn smth new today ruclips.net/video/niGiiOgtxXE/видео.htmlsi=WptT_-9mak4x9RG9 thanks for watching~
lol, I feel you 100%, This is def a hard to learn at first kinda tool, but ones you past through that learning curve and master it! You'll def find it worth it, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
I’ve been using chopsticks since I was a kid, but no one ever taught me to use them. I hold my chopsticks basically this way, but resting on my middle finger instead of my ring finger. I mean, it works the same, just slightly different. Although, I don’t know if this would be considered a so faux pas not. Benefits to using chopsticks in America I suppose.
It might be your muscle getting tired, it's like a workout, the more you use it, the less you feel the pain. but also, there's a option of finding lighter chopsticks say Chinese wooden chopsticks are lighter then Korean metal chopsticks. chopsticks with grids on the tips(so the food don't slide as easily) can also help release some tension on the grip. let me know how it goes
As a matter of fact, it's pretty hard to use chopsticks if you had never done it before. Mostly because your fingers have never experienced this kind of load. So they will get tired quickly.
My chopsticks are fixed😢. Can u pls do a vid with the problems people might face when trying to hold chopsticks😅? And in the vid could you show more ways to hold and if there are no more ways, pls in the vid could u do it more securely😅😅😊😊
hum, very interesting, that's a good idea! tho I have to do some research among people that doesn't use chopsticks, there's one step in this video where you can secure one chopstick real well and move one only, at the end of the day as long as you can pick up your food you're good, and the rest us just practice and muscle memory~ lmk how it goes!
“It doesn’t matter how you hold your chopsticks” It really shouldn’t but my partner is Chinese, and despite how wrong it sounds, there are a lot of her family’s side that judge you for the most minuscule of things such as this…. So I have to learn certain ways of holding!!
Oh no... I'm so sorry... that sounds soo stressful.. they should understand that it's not your culture and appreciate that you're even trying, cuz I know a lot of people won't even give it a try. so just so you know, that I'm proud of you! Most of these judgemental behaviors came from insecurity and ignorance, I hope at least your partner is on your side cuz I know sometimes Chinese family culture can be a bit intense
@@ericayeahtw My partner says the same things you say - it doesn’t matter. A comment I received for the way I hold my chopsticks was “This is how a rich person holds their chopsticks” as I was pointed at in front of multiple members of the family, some people laughed and some people looked awkwardly at each other and then at me. The vibe became uncomfortable after that remark but whatever, the night continues. Sticks and stones, right…?
ahh I know its hard... you just need to know how to move the tip of index and middle so you can pick up food, it's going to take a bit of practice no doubt but I believe in you!
That's was great...I learned it the hard way though.. she forget to mention to secure the food container, so In my case, just after 2nd attempt, I managed to tip the bowl on the floor. 😂😂 lucky I was in my hotel room, so nobody saw it. 😢😅😅
hahahaha! good point! that def happens way more then i though~ another skill to get is to pick up a beef ball and not shooting it to the other side of the restaurant (it happens to me many times as a child lol)
Great question! and here's what I think first of all, it is ok to hold on to any part of the chopsticks with your hand, everyone have their own preference, and we actually have a myth that says the further away you hold your chopsticks from the tip, the further away you're going to be married to... I hold pretty far away from the tip in that video, and I'm married to the other side of the world lmao. guess the myth is real lol but back to your question, I need to know which finger of yours hurt? do you got long nails that's preventing you from holding it?
People do experience mild pain sometimes holding chopsticks, it can be the material of the chopsticks, the lack of strength in those finger muscles (since we barely hold anything else like that) I wonder if you feel similarly as when I have to write with a pan for more than 4 hours, the skin on the first joint of my middle finger starts to irritate me(cuz the pan rests on top of it when I write). Still, I never feel that when I was in school, so I believe it's a temporary irritation due to sensitive skin just because I don't use that part of my body like that enough anymore being 30 years old and I only text for almost everything for the past 8 years(extra strong tip of fingers lol). Hope it makes sense, but lmk if I misunderstand your question, please!
@@ericayeahtw i try to hold it as far from the tips as possible because i don't want to get dirty trying to pick the food. I will had some extenders to my chopsticks so i will be married for longer, they are going to be 50 cm long minimum hahah My middle finger hurts it i don't slide it down, and same for my ring finger. My chopsticks are the chinese ones iirc the name, squared at the top and progressively become round and they are in some metal (bought them in korea). I don't have long nails When i write for long i get a huge dent on my middle finger but no irritation or real pain. Meanwhile with the chopsticks i can feel the edge of it pressuring so much on that part. I heard other people saying that rookies get some pain but then goes away with time I also have some cramps, the muscle where my thumb connects to the hand hurts, and the one on the right side of the hand (right hand), below the pinky finger, hurts as well. But it looks like i found some adjustments that make the pain go away and the tips meet, but i don't have strength, and the chopstick slides off the ring finger quite often I can pick light objects quite easily, but when something is heavier the chopstick starts to slide
@@oj7177 oh yeah! So the ferther away you hold it the harder you need to pinch, just get closer it’s fine, and pick up less per time so you don’t dip in the finger
@@ericayeahtw I'm getting better at it, but still have some struggles in applying force without twisting the tip. If things are slippery or heavy, then i have to hold them in another way that's easier for me to apply pressure
I’ve been trying to learn for years and have watched many videos this is the only one that worked for me
Omg thank you for the kind comment! I’m soo glad this helps~ ❤❤❤
Years?
Same !!
SAME
No offense but I learned it in 54 minutes
I'm 96 just learnt using chopsticks, now I can die
Wait if your 96 then why are you here if your too old
Hey It's never too old to learn, and Glad to have some 90s audience, that's a blessing!
I wish I can be on top of the trend when I'm old! haha
Like anything else in life, the more you do it, the better you get at it.
exactly! thanks for watching
@@ericayeahtw I've been eating with chopsticks for over half a century. And I'm hungry, so I'm about to do it again.
Thx for the encouragement 👏👏👏
True 🙏🏻😉
I played a joke on the family during Thanksgiving by setting the table with chopsticks. You should've seen the kids with the Cranberry Sauce!
Lmao, that’s a good one omg! Even I can’t pick up cranberry sauce with chopsticks🤣🤣🤣 mash potato is the max i can do and it also depends on the texture too😂 let’s stick with spoon on that next year lol poor kids( def fun to watch tho)
This has good description / explanation & visuals. Im practicing with 1/4" diameter x 12" long unfinished dowel sticks. Therefore easier to hold non slip and practice practice practice
Wow, you put a lot of thought into this! i love it! I can see you master it very soon!
When you feel comfortable about these dowel sticks, you can start practicing with reusable wooden chopsticks. they are also easy to grab and use, not slippery, but shape more like a chopstick (with one end thinner than the other end) lmk how it goes~
After 17 years I’ve finally learnt 😂
hey, it's never too late man, proud of you!

Lets face it, if shtf and you have to rough it, is it easier to carve a spoon or fork in the woods, or split down a stick until you have chopsticks?
Umm… do you really think carving spoon is easier than splitting bamboos?
And if shit really goes down, I’ll use my hand instead tbh🤣
I mean idk I don’t do wood work but i think it’s easier to find sticks than smth shape like a spoon or let alone carve one. But is the point here about you don’t wanna learn chopsticks? No pressure man, you don’t have to gain any skill you don’t want 😊

One more thing, never use your chopsticks for stabbing your food. Because it's considered to be rude and is a display of poor table manners.
I practice with grapes 😅 and sometimes my index and middle finger will move in a direction like if i am writing and then you miss.
Wow grapes? lol that's some challenge right there! after you master it, switch to quil egg in boiling soup, if you get that, you're basically Asian haha, cuz that's about the hardest skill you'll ever need.
BTW, Here's a full video on Chopsticks explaining, check it out if you're interested! I promise you'll learn smth new today

thanks for watching~

lol, I feel you 100%, This is def a hard to learn at first kinda tool, but ones you past through that learning curve and master it! You'll def find it worth it, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
@@ericayeahtw my life motto is “never back downs never give up, only losers give up and all your fictional husbands wouldnt like wimpy losers”
Thank you very muchly! 😊 I watched this with a bowl of beef noodles and managed to finish the whole thing, so happy your video worked ☺️🙏💜
Yeeaaahhh! fast learner over here, Soo glad it helps~
I’ve been using chopsticks since I was a kid, but no one ever taught me to use them. I hold my chopsticks basically this way, but resting on my middle finger instead of my ring finger. I mean, it works the same, just slightly different. Although, I don’t know if this would be considered a so faux pas not. Benefits to using chopsticks in America I suppose.
Me brain: thats easy
Practice: AGHHHH
Im pretty good with chopsticks but after a while, my hand tends to cramp ;v;
It might be your muscle getting tired, it's like a workout, the more you use it, the less you feel the pain.
but also, there's a option of finding lighter chopsticks say Chinese wooden chopsticks are lighter then Korean metal chopsticks. chopsticks with grids on the tips(so the food don't slide as easily) can also help release some tension on the grip. let me know how it goes
I've been trying
You've got this!!!!
It’s not hard but I have to watch videos on how to hold it every time 😂 !
now I know how to use chopsticks thank you
Yea~ I'm glad it helps! thanks for watching!
As a matter of fact, it's pretty hard to use chopsticks if you had never done it before.
Mostly because your fingers have never experienced this kind of load. So they will get tired quickly.
Indeed! It's def a mini work out on the hand for beginners, but ones you master it, It's the most useful eating tool in my opinion 😚
THIS VID IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS
My chopsticks are fixed😢. Can u pls do a vid with the problems people might face when trying to hold chopsticks😅? And in the vid could you show more ways to hold and if there are no more ways, pls in the vid could u do it more securely😅😅😊😊
hum, very interesting, that's a good idea! tho I have to do some research among people that doesn't use chopsticks, there's one step in this video where you can secure one chopstick real well and move one only, at the end of the day as long as you can pick up your food you're good, and the rest us just practice and muscle memory~ lmk how it goes!
Ty 😅
“It doesn’t matter how you hold your chopsticks”
It really shouldn’t but my partner is Chinese, and despite how wrong it sounds, there are a lot of her family’s side that judge you for the most minuscule of things such as this….
So I have to learn certain ways of holding!!
Oh no... I'm so sorry... that sounds soo stressful.. they should understand that it's not your culture and appreciate that you're even trying, cuz I know a lot of people won't even give it a try. so just so you know, that I'm proud of you!
Most of these judgemental behaviors came from insecurity and ignorance, I hope at least your partner is on your side cuz I know sometimes Chinese family culture can be a bit intense
@@ericayeahtw My partner says the same things you say - it doesn’t matter.
A comment I received for the way I hold my chopsticks was “This is how a rich person holds their chopsticks” as I was pointed at in front of multiple members of the family, some people laughed and some people looked awkwardly at each other and then at me. The vibe became uncomfortable after that remark but whatever, the night continues.
Sticks and stones, right…?
Me and my best friend made a bamboo chopsticks
what!!! that's dope! i didn't even get to do that in my life! sound soo fun
I can’t move both my index and middle finger without my ring finger moving too 😭
ahh I know its hard... you just need to know how to move the tip of index and middle so you can pick up food, it's going to take a bit of practice no doubt but I believe in you!
I have tried like fifty tutorials and it doesn’t work
It takes a while to master but keep practicing, and you'll get it eventually, it suppost to feel weird at first! You've got this!
That's was great...I learned it the hard way though.. she forget to mention to secure the food container, so In my case, just after 2nd attempt, I managed to tip the bowl on the floor. 😂😂 lucky I was in my hotel room, so nobody saw it. 😢😅😅
hahahaha! good point! that def happens way more then i though~
another skill to get is to pick up a beef ball and not shooting it to the other side of the restaurant (it happens to me many times as a child lol)
I cannot get the two chopsticks parallel
Anicent chopstick law of 17348
aww~ what is that? 17348?
I struggle with making the tips meet, and have to slide the fingers down because if the chopsticks go against the top part of my nail it hurts
Tips?
Great question! and here's what I think
first of all, it is ok to hold on to any part of the chopsticks with your hand, everyone have their own preference, and we actually have a myth that says the further away you hold your chopsticks from the tip, the further away you're going to be married to... I hold pretty far away from the tip in that video, and I'm married to the other side of the world lmao. guess the myth is real lol
but back to your question, I need to know which finger of yours hurt? do you got long nails that's preventing you from holding it?
People do experience mild pain sometimes holding chopsticks, it can be the material of the chopsticks, the lack of strength in those finger muscles (since we barely hold anything else like that)
I wonder if you feel similarly as when I have to write with a pan for more than 4 hours, the skin on the first joint of my middle finger starts to irritate me(cuz the pan rests on top of it when I write). Still, I never feel that when I was in school, so I believe it's a temporary irritation due to sensitive skin just because I don't use that part of my body like that enough anymore being 30 years old and I only text for almost everything for the past 8 years(extra strong tip of fingers lol).
Hope it makes sense, but lmk if I misunderstand your question, please!
@@ericayeahtw i try to hold it as far from the tips as possible because i don't want to get dirty trying to pick the food. I will had some extenders to my chopsticks so i will be married for longer, they are going to be 50 cm long minimum hahah
My middle finger hurts it i don't slide it down, and same for my ring finger. My chopsticks are the chinese ones iirc the name, squared at the top and progressively become round and they are in some metal (bought them in korea). I don't have long nails
When i write for long i get a huge dent on my middle finger but no irritation or real pain. Meanwhile with the chopsticks i can feel the edge of it pressuring so much on that part. I heard other people saying that rookies get some pain but then goes away with time
I also have some cramps, the muscle where my thumb connects to the hand hurts, and the one on the right side of the hand (right hand), below the pinky finger, hurts as well.
But it looks like i found some adjustments that make the pain go away and the tips meet, but i don't have strength, and the chopstick slides off the ring finger quite often
I can pick light objects quite easily, but when something is heavier the chopstick starts to slide
@@oj7177 oh yeah! So the ferther away you hold it the harder you need to pinch, just get closer it’s fine, and pick up less per time so you don’t dip in the finger
@@ericayeahtw I'm getting better at it, but still have some struggles in applying force without twisting the tip. If things are slippery or heavy, then i have to hold them in another way that's easier for me to apply pressure
Thanks now i can eat my noodles 🍜
yeeaahh~ I'm glad it helps~ lmk how it goes!!!
@m ready to attend Chop Stick School😊
lol~ Best of luck ☺
Try your best that chopsticks 🥢
You've got this!
I can grab it right but it doesn't move very well😢 ❤❤❤ and thanks for your really easy tip😊
Hey, that means you're at least 80% there, the strength will come overtime, it's like a mini finger workout, keep practicing! you've got this!
