  • Chopsticks can be difficult to learn to use. Some countries in Asia have specific types of chopsticks and specific etiquette on how to use them. Many people don't notice the difference between types of chopsticks, so today I will be comparing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean chopsticks.

    I have 5 chopsticks. Not 5 pairs of chopsticks, but 5 chopsticks. Everyone asks me why.
    A friend had 10 chopsticks. He told me I could take a few to myself. So I took five.

      Food smells seem to turn men on more than others. Turmeric, vanilla, allspice, and other spices have been used as or in perfume, and perfume smelling of pumpkin scores well, too, if I recall correctly.
      There are many good smells in Chinese food that might work in a fragrance and might not be that hard to reproduce. Our man is onto something delicious here.

    Since i was stationed in Korea in 2006, i use that style of chopstick more frequently than the others. I bought a set of 10 stainless steel chopsticks and then bought the Japanese style in bamboo and use those as well for eating all Asian dishes. I make sure to use a spoon for my rice, and that is how i have taught my kids to eat Korean food.

    2:16 the flat metal chopsticks in this photo is the most common standard chopstick you’d find in a Korean home. Also the traditional korean etiquette is to eat rice and soup with spoon and side dishes with chopsticks. And DON’T lift your bowl from the table.
    The one he has is actually a chinese chopstick, or more like how chinese chopsticks made and sold in korea are like. They are vacuum hollow on the inside so they are very light and are found in many school and hospital cafeterias.

    Great research!! I want to add more things about Korean's chopsticks though. why are Korean chopsticks flat and made out of steel instead of wood? well because we sometimes use chopsticks for tearing apart Kimchi and fish etc. and sometimes Korean banchans (sidedishes) are heavier than the other countries' so we don't like wooden chopstick because it is bent and twisted sometimes when you grab heavier things among banchans. and you have to use metal chopsticks especially when you have a Samgeytang or Gamjatang because you have to separate your bone between meat with metal chopsticks. and think about Korean bbq. if you use wooden chopsticks then your chopstick will burn by the fire.

      I'm Korean and one of my best friends is Japanese! I think Korean pop culture owes a lot to the Japanese. Also was going to say I prefer Japanese chopsticks. Been using them for years, and the lightweight pointed tips work well with what I eat. Don't want to seem like I'm downing my own culture. Korean food is still my favorite food. Just saying both cultures have a lot to offer, and are similar in many ways.

    I use the Japanese style chopsticks at my house and especially appreciate the little grooves at the end that help hold slippery foods. I can't do the Korean metal ones, though I do use the Korean spoons with the round vs oval shaped heads.

    I was confused by Korean chopsticks the first time I went to Korea and had a meal. I didn't understand not because they're metal, but because majority of them weren't round. They were like flat and thin. I ended up preferring them though, especially when I'm cooking. Chinese chopsticks are a bit awkward to hold for me because they're so big but I can still use them okay.

    As a non Asian, I find myself using chopsticks much more frequently than I would imagine. Usually, chinese, but I do have Japanese as well. But whenever I eat meat and veggies that are cut up in decent sized chunks, I use chopsticks...Plus, they are great for cooking. Better than tongs most of the time.

    Koreans are right to just eat rice with a spoon. Ironically, [in my opinion] chopsticks feel better to use than western utensils most of the time, but it's when you have food like rice that it's better to use the western instrument.

    • @harabaekho1624
      @harabaekho1624 7 лет назад +32

      In terms of SE Asia the Chinese-style food is eaten with chopsticks, but some of the more local dishes, especially rice, are eaten with a spoon and fork, where the fork is used to shovel rice into the bowl of the spoon from a flat plate. Or you use hands.
      Chopsticks are more suited for the Asian style of eating though.... Western meals tend to be large slabs eg. steak, chicken drumsticks, meatloaf, etc rather than Asian dishes where everything's in bite sized pieces already so it's easier to pick up, and as for rice it's normal in Chinese etiquette to pick up the bowl and hold it to your mouth anyway. On the other hand, with Korean etiquette, picking up the bowl is bad manners, hence the spoon to scoop it.
      This is from personal observation anyway, and as a SE Asian person who frequently eats East and SE Asian food

These truly take much more skill. I used to get hand cramps and fumbled with food. Now I can pick up one grain of rice with ease. Korean chopsticks offer precision. Koreans do however use Chinese style chopsticks for cooking. Great video!

      Not ideal for wet foods. Needs more effort just to grip with metal ones. They tend to be heavier than bamboo one (unless very thin and hollow). And I haven't really met anyone Asian (yet) who thinks metal ones are easier to use. Same goes to plastic ones. It also absorbs heat, so if you leave your metal chopsticks in a really hot dish, ouch.

    Korean Chopsticks are king!
    - Dishwasher safe for better hygiene
    - Won't warp when you wash them
    - Environmentally friendly
    - Sturdier construction means they won't break if you're doing the traditional thing of "cutting" your food with them instead of a knife
    - They generally have notches at the ends to provide better grip

      Generally, you only need the chopsticks to be twice the size of your index finger to find the same level of comfort. Prior to that, it's a problem of getting used to and developing the technique, although it's generally said that it's easier to start with ones which fit the size of your hands better.
      What I find interesting is that each cuisine tends to be designed and shaped around their respective pair of chopsticks.

      I don't really like the flat Korean chopsticks. They are hard to grip since you are only gripping on 2 of the sides (either the flat sides or the thin sides). Chinese and Japanese chopsticks are better since you have equal proportions on all 4 sides. That's my opinion. But, the metal chopsticks are easier to clean/wash tho. Washing chopsticks can be a nightmare lol

    For years I've been using the "traditional" Chinese plastic chopsticks, for both cooking and eating. Not too long ago I picked up a pack of stainless steel chopsticks (Korean style, but made in Taiwan, that I bought at 99 Ranch Market) that I use only for eating. (But I still use the plastic ones for cooking, checking if mian is done, etc., as they seem to have a better grip--and of course there is zero heat transfer, as opposed to the metal chopsticks.)
    I am always a bit leery about "reusable" wooden chopsticks at restaurants. I think these are made from bamboo, not sure, but I am never convinced they can be cleaned 100%.
    Oh and of course, I need to mention: throwaway wooden chopsticks! These seem to come in two varieties: one that is very well finished, smooth and rounded; and the other--with which we are all familiar!--that looks like a miniature 2x4 with a slit in it, guaranteed to give your mouth a terminal case of splinters, aiyahhh.
    I cannot eat Asian noodles without chopsticks...and my favorite comfort food/snack is a bowl of peanuts with chili sauce--and how can you eat this without chopsticks?
    And by the way, it is not difficult to learn how to use chopsticks...several days' starvation will ease and accelerate the learning process...! :)

      I've never gotten splinters from the throwaways. Just scrape the end lengths together vigorously. That's what everyone does.
      I learned to eat with three chopsticks. Better for rice, almost acts like a fork.

    My family is Korean so I end up using Korean chopsticks a lot more when we're trying to be traditional or trying to impress white people but usually my family will go to Asian food restaurants and keep the disposable chopsticks that they give us

    I learned with Chinese chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant, but adjusted to Japanese chopsticks when I visited and came home with a pair or two. While in Japan, my host family pointed out how I hold my chopsticks quite far near the top end, I said I just wasn't used to Japanese chopsticks being much shorter. Ironically, now we have Korean chopsticks at home, but that's literally just because steel is much easier to wash and the kids can't break them by slamming them on the table when they don't like dinner.

      RUclips has been pushing this style of viewing a lot lately, because the most money they make is when people stick on the site. Rather than watching any particular creator.

    I like all of them but the Japanese ones fits me the most. As Mike said, really easy to pick up small pieces!
