chopsticks have evolved into a newer, better entity: the fork.

<u>BEST CHOPSTICK TUTORIAL FROM A 100% CHINESE DUDE</u>

Bottom chopstick

Should rest on the space between the joint/fingernail of the ring finger and the socket between the thumb and index finger. Note: your ring finger may be a little sore if not sued to it, but only lasts a short time and is easily worth it for chopstick proficiency.

Top chopstick

Should rest on the space between the fingernail/joint of middle finger and be covered by the index finger. Thumb also provides support.

Combine together.

Bottom chopstick never moves. Thumb, middle finger, and pinky never move. Only index and middle finger move. Move those fingers together downward to close.

Move index and middle finger upward together to open.

TT, I MSpainted you instructions on how I hold chop sticks.

In the upper panel you pinch the bottom chop stick between your ring and middle fingers and keep this still through the eating process.

In the bottom panel you now grab the other chopstick with your pointer and thumb and move it up and down with your pointer finger so that it can meet the bottom chopstick and thus pick you up food.

I use chopsticks better than Asians. And I am as white as snow. But I would have to show you in person, virtual teaching has its limits.....

First step is the bottom chopstick. Grasp it so that there is pressure between the base of your thumb and around the first line of your middle finger as such:

This leaves the top of your thumb and index finger completely free to grasp and control the top chopstick. The base one doesn't move, only the top

YES.. The bottom chopstick is dead, and never moves. The top does all the work. Too many chopstick noobs try to move both....DONT!!
