Chinese Food 101 – Chopsticks

welcome to watchmojo.com this is Angela
your host today I’m going to show you
how to use chopsticks there has been a
common error that people try to hold
chopsticks and the cross and it becomes
very difficult to take and then it
crisscrosses and fall now first of all
I’ll show you how to just keep one
chopstick stable the way to do it is
maintain the stability without moving
this at all keep it between your middle
finger and your ring finger while you
hold with your thumb and index finger
we’re going to use the yellow chopstick
independently as well and we’re going to
have our one thumb index finger and
middle finger and be able to just rico
it now as you do this you can try just
poking turning circles or just moving it
around now after some practice you can
integrate to have both chop sticks
together so remember I said the first
one you just hold it with this middle
finger and your ring finger like this
keep it stationary put the other over
and you basically move only one you see
that you just move only one and you
would ask how far your hand should be
should you be holding it up high or
holding it here I would say if you hold
it here you probably get all your
fingers squeeze see so this might get
too high for you and you have to apply a
lot of efforts so normally i find the
best one way is to do it at about two
thirds of the top from here to here two
thirds so now here we go i’m going to
pick this up and you
here we go
