How to Use Chopsticks Correctly - Chopsticks Tips Video

Using chopsticks is not as hard as you think. Learn how to use chopsticks in one minute - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats.

Using chopsticks can be very tricky, and it requires a lot of practice. Just to make a good introduction, I will show you some tricks. First you are going to hold this as if you are holding a pen, like so. You are going to insert the second chopsticks underneath, and it sits right on your ring finger, like so.

Basically, the top chopsticks is the one that moves, and the bottom one does not, really. It just sits. Then your index finger and middle finger are holding the top chopsticks like this, and your thumb is supporting it. So, when you move, only these three fingers move, and the bottom one does not move at all. It does require practice. So, do not be afraid, and do not be disappointed if it does not work the first time.
