Chopsticks - Part Deux

[James Boston]

Yes, there has been a recent chopsticks posts, but this one is different.

I was at a Japanese steakhouse tonight. I can use chopsticks sufficiently. There is one exception - fried rice. I can pick up a single grain of rice, but not a fork-sized portion of rice. Am I doing it wrong, or am I trying to get too much? Please advise.
