For the first time, they began to be used while eating by the Chinese who lived even before our era. Today in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand, two small thin sticks made of wood, metal or plastic are synonymous with European spoons, forks and knives. However, the current triumphant march through the world of Asian cuisine is not even a reason, but a prerequisite for everyone, without exception, to learn how to eat with chopsticks. Can you already pick up sushi with your chopsticks? Then - try to eat them the same dishes from noodles or rice.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to remember is the following. Sticks must be held in the right hand. In this case, the hand does not need to be strained in any case. It should be flexible at the wrist. Movements should be light, smooth.
Step 2
We take both sticks in our hands at the same time. The hand is relaxed. The little finger and ring finger are pressed together. The middle and index fingers are slightly extended forward.
Step 3
The bottom stick should lie in the hollow between the thumb and the hand. The lower thin end of the stick should rest against the ring finger.
Step 4
The upper stick should rest on the pad of the index finger, the third phalanx of the middle finger. From above, it should be adhered to with the pad of the thumb.
Step 5
When eating, only the upper stick should be mobile. The bottom one is always fixed.
