one time, I was at a Korean restaurant and they only gave us chopsticks and I didn't know how to use them. it was embarrassing for an Asian to ask for a fork.
I envy cultures where chopsticks are standard, just because; 1. They’re the coolest utensils 2. It’s so much easier to learn any other utensil later in life.
Seems like im not the only army trying to be like bangtan lmao but dont worry youll get the hang of it it hurts for a while but younhand will get strength the mire yiu do it
It is! I don’t know why. I used some training/cheat chopsticks we got from a restaurant awhile back to eat my ramen this morning instead of a fork. It felt really nice.
2 hours ago I thought this impossible. Now I have eaten sushi, noodles, popcorn, nuts and I am entertaining my family, while they play social games, by picking up various things. Very good tutorial, thank you
Nice one! Yes it's all about practice!!! Lot;s of it. That's why I say about practising with snacks. I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
I learnt within few mins of watching and some practice (kinda few months ago) I just dropped by again rn to show my younger sister this method of using chopsticks. Now she's learning! THIS is the best video on TH-cam! Thank you so much, Lee.☺️
After desiring to eat with chopsticks for years, looking at various Asians on YT, trying and failing and giving up and trying again in cycles, I looked at your tutorial and in less than 3 minutes I got it! 🎉😂 There is a teacher out there for everyone, that's why we are different and the same in many ways. Thank you😊 A mini goal is accomplished today🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
I have tried for over 40 years to use chopsticks. I never succeeded until I saw your video. What’s even better is, I just ate about 10 chocolate covered raisins…with chopsticks! How awesome is that. I didn’t have any toffee or caramel popcorn, so I figured chocolate covered raisins would be good practice. Thank you so much!
That's excellent. I'm really glad it helped. Chocolate raisins is another brilliant snack for practice (and very yummy, I love them haha). That's the idea, doesn't really matter so much what the snack is as long as it's something u enjoy, so the practice will be enjoyable, as to learn them it's basically just practice. Enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
I have never been able to use chopsticks and I literally nailed it straight away with this video! For me it wasn’t what I was doing with the thumb that was the issue it was what I was doing with the middle finger. I was resting it on the bottom one and just using the index finger to control the top, instead of using them both to control the top one! Thank you so much!
I've been struggling so much and watched like 10 videos (shorts included) to learn how to hold them and this video is the only one who taught me properly. Great vid, love it!
I've watched multiple videos to learn chopsticks and this is the first one that worked for me. I'm cramping my hand up but at least I'm finally grabbing at the same time! Cheers
Nice one! I'm glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! And it was the same for me too, but it does get better and easier with practice, thankfully. I think in the beginning we hold them quite tight to help stop them from slipping, but as we get better our hand naturally relaxes, plus it gets stronger. Good luck!
@@dianiniii make sure you’re relaxing the hand when you’re first learning. You might just be subconsciously tightening muscles in the hand that doesn’t need tightening

Thank you. Well this is technically the 'correct' way to use them but I'm of the opinion if you can already use them a different way then you're fine, native users use them all different ways too.

Thanks! Whenever we get chinese food it comes with chopsticks and my fam makes fun of me for not knowing how to use chopsticks. The best part is- they dont know either, lol.
Yeah it will for some at first, its practice.. practice practice and more practice. I know it seemed daft but the popcorn trick really works. The best thing to learn is to get some small food, like popcorn or anything and eat the lot using them, even if it takes u ages. I'd never used chopsticks before, then when I was away on holiday with friends outside a restaurant I ordered a fried rice dish and got chopsticks. I struggled but persisted and eventually ate it all with them... it took me ages and the food was completely cold by the time I finished and my hand was killing me but from then on I was able to use them and I got better the more times I used them. Grab yourself some popcorn or something and put a movie on and eat the lot using them, just keep practicing!!! Good luck! :D
It's because you should be bracing it not on top of the ring finger, but you should be using the ring finger for extra stability with that stick. So instead of placing it near the knuckle of the ring finger like he shows in the video, you should be placing it at the tip and you will notice a lot more control and you will have extra grip strength available with your stick use as well. Since you are not used to it yet you will still notice that your hand will cramp with use because you are doing a maneuver you rarely do. But over time if you use it a lot you will notice it becoming much easier.
Thank you so much for noticing and replying. It's actually a lot of work to do, for example I've just spent the last 3 hours replying to comment and my hand is aching and I'm getting a headache lol and many left to do, but I do like to respond to people who take the time to post nice messages and especially those saying how my video helped them learn. I love knowing my video helped them learn to use them. 😃👍
Haha. Well it wasn't intended to tell people who can already use them whether their way is right or wrong, but just to teach those who cant already use them how to. But yes, this is considered the correct way. 😃👍😃
this man really said "...if you disliked you dislike the video..." this man is honest and humble and deserves a like with that sentence alone. but I'm really thankful for the tutorial
Once you know how you should hold them, then it's all about practice and repetition until you can do it. The tip about practicing with snacks for the repetition helps a lot. It's about struggling through, trying to eat the snacks with them until it slowly gets easier. Good luck!
For anyone having trouble preventing your thumb from bending: change the angle of the chopsticks. The chopsticks have to be perpendicular to your thumb, it can't be slanted downwards or upwards which was what I was doing wrong.
Im half asian and live in asia since im 5 until now. Been almost everywhere in asia and the most awesome technic when eating is using hand ✋ its easy just wash your hands then eat!! i learned that in the Philippines. So why not go for the easiest way,.. right? 😂😂
i find it hard to hold the bottom stick in place because when i start moving, even if my thumb is motionless the bottom stick will slide off of my finger
Thank you!!! Yes you are exactly right! Once you know how then it's just down to practice and repetition for the muscle memory that makes perfect. The tip about practising with snacks helps a lot. Enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
This is the BEST tutorial for learning how to use chopsticks , WELL DONE Gosh i have been wanting to learn this for YEARS! idk why I'm searching for it now!
Pretty easy to learn! Thank you so much! I've been having a difficult time learning how to use chopsticks but with this video, so awesome, it's easy as 1-2-3! ✨🔥
Haha, depends how hungry you are at the time. Seriously tho, it does get easier over time, you just need to stick with it. Geddit, stick.. I'll get my coat :D
I had the same problem before , but the golden rule is to fix your thumb and squeeze the bottom chopstick with bottom of the your thumb and the ring finger, just some practice and you're good .
The popcorn and peanut trick is amazing, not only you're practicing how to use chopsticks properly, but you're also enjoying something delicious and thus motivating yourself even more.
Asian's just eat rice as practice but in reality you're just eating food. It's like the secret to being a good basketball player is... playing more basketball.
This video is intended to teach people how to use chopsticks can't who already use them. It's not intended to tell people who already can to use them any differently.
Uuhhhh it took me only some hour's to nicely use it 😁 but at first I had used to practice it with pen's and I didn't knew the right way to use it and I thought it was right and practice it with pen's and later l bought chopsticks and saw this video and learn it very fast 😉
@@perayaforeever3910 same here .... I too tried with pens , pencil's and small peace's of sticks and now I'm ready for it. ....... I can handle the Chopstick very well.......😅
Thank you so much for this video! The thing about keeping the thumb staight is absolutely true. When my thumb is not straight, my middle finger moves on its own to assist the ring finger in keeping the chopstick (or in my case, pencil) in place!
Literally the best video!!! I watched it twice and I got it on the first trial itself.... it's really easy you'll just have to practice more. Edit - Now I can handle chopsticks with left hand as well and that too in 4 days !!! Feels like a big achievement🤩 Just practice guys its not impossible !!!
Thank you so much, And wow you learnt with both hands! Impressive. Yes you are correct, the secret with these is just to practice. I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
@@LeesRandomVids i practiced a lot first with wooden chopsticks, then moving to the metal ones and thanks to you now i can eat any food using chopsticks without any problem!! tysm!!
Thank you! I can use chopsticks, but I’m clumsy with them . I wondered why I sometimes crossed my sticks, now I know I’m not holding the bottom steady with my thumb. Exactly what I needed. I can hardly wait to try them again.
Nice one! And You're welcome. I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! It just takes practice, the tip about practising with snacks helps a lot. Good luck!
I'll try them....so lets see. I bought the Sth.Korean,and I had a month trying to use them correctly and I can't. So... seems that your teaching can help! Thanks.
Good luck, I hope it helps you. Once you know the basic technique its just practice practice practice. If you bought the metal ones they are the most difficult to use.
This is great - I watched about 6 videos before this one, and they all negected to mention the importance of keeping the thumb straight and still. Makes all the difference!
Haha, if you can eat with them then you are using them right. This tutorial is intended to teach people who can't use them how to use them. It's not intended to tell people who can already use them that they should use them differently. There are many ways, it's up to you how you use them really. 😃👍
Until I started watching Japanese cooking videos, I didn’t understand why they didn’t just use forks! After watching the Chefs preparations, I started understanding that their Culture. Not everyone can afford a proper knife. The knife handlers are professionals, in cutting sharpening & maintaining expensive knives. They prepare their food in bite sized meals,& without concentrating on what you are doing, you miss your mouth. It’s also very hard to operate an iPhone & eat. Kinda makes meals, a family time again. No one gobble up a meal, & run away from family. It’s probably dietary too, it keeps your mind on what you’re doing. Think about trying to eat popcorn with chopsticks! One bag would be more than plenty, at one sitting. Chopsticks could be what’s missing in making our family’s strong & Great Again! Right along with prayers and Manners! Maybe the Japanese are a whole lot smarter, than we take them for! I’m going to practice with chopsticks, I have a lot more respect for their Culture, after watching their delicious food preparation! Thanks for the video!
Why I feel the need to sit on my bedroom floor and learn how to use chopsticks at 12:45 in the morning is beyond me, but it's kinda fun. This video made so much sense, idk why it's taken so many years to click in my brain on how to use chopsticks but now that it has I'm so excited to use them. 😆
I've struggled to use chop sticks my whole life. I made it my new years resolution to learn how to use them. I'm still struggling but practicing as much as i can. How can something look so natural to others yet so complex to me...

Thanks! Whenever we get chinese food it comes with chopsticks and my fam makes fun of me for not knowing how to use chopsticks. The best part is- they dont know either, lol.
Haha, you're welcome. Practice with snacks then surprise them with your skills next time. 😃
😂
This is a completely correct explanation of using chopsticks.
There are not many Japanese people who can use chopsticks correctly like this video.
Thank you.
No one:
Not even a single person:
*Me trying this with my two half chewed pencils*
😃👍
🤣🤣
i thought i was the only one lollll
Same ;-;
Same but with pens 😂 😂
the bottom chopstick keeps slipping for me
Yeah it will for some at first, its practice.. practice practice and more practice. I know it seemed daft but the popcorn trick really works. The best thing to learn is to get some small food, like popcorn or anything and eat the lot using them, even if it takes u ages. I'd never used chopsticks before, then when I was away on holiday with friends outside a restaurant I ordered a fried rice dish and got chopsticks. I struggled but persisted and eventually ate it all with them... it took me ages and the food was completely cold by the time I finished and my hand was killing me but from then on I was able to use them and I got better the more times I used them. Grab yourself some popcorn or something and put a movie on and eat the lot using them, just keep practicing!!! Good luck! :D

It's because you should be bracing it not on top of the ring finger, but you should be using the ring finger for extra stability with that stick. So instead of placing it near the knuckle of the ring finger like he shows in the video, you should be placing it at the tip and you will notice a lot more control and you will have extra grip strength available with your stick use as well. Since you are not used to it yet you will still notice that your hand will cramp with use because you are doing a maneuver you rarely do. But over time if you use it a lot you will notice it becoming much easier.
I also found the above technique easier.when I used my ring finger to support it a bit.it was easier

😃😃😃😃😃👍
I've watched many many videos on holding chopsticks I've so much trouble with but this video is so good it's so clear and precise !!thank you so much!
You're welcome! I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future!
oh tf?
i'm asian and i'm not really good at using chopsticks
and im here taking lesson by a white dude 😅
Well, hope it helped 😃
LeesRandomVids it did actually i've been doing it right but my fingers are just weak 😂
that's globalisation bub
Do you use spoon and fork?
I am just impressed by one thing that LeesRandomVids is still hearting and commenting to almost all the comments even after 3 years. Nice man
Thank you so much for noticing and replying. It's actually a lot of work to do, for example I've just spent the last 3 hours replying to comment and my hand is aching and I'm getting a headache lol and many left to do, but I do like to respond to people who take the time to post nice messages and especially those saying how my video helped them learn. I love knowing my video helped them learn to use them. 😃👍
OMG I didn't know I've been using it correctly ever since. HAHAHA I thought I'm wrong the whole time.
Haha. Well it wasn't intended to tell people who can already use them whether their way is right or wrong, but just to teach those who cant already use them how to.
But yes, this is considered the correct way. 😃👍😃
this man really said "...if you disliked you dislike the video..." this man is honest and humble and deserves a like with that sentence alone. but I'm really thankful for the tutorial
Thank you!
Oh I'm Korean. You better than me. Excellent!!
Haha Thank you. :D
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
yep I am gonna ruin the 69 likes sorry
when I saw that:it's easy
when I try that: OMG😂😂
Its ez bruh
@@dllance8466 it's not easy for me
Once you know how you should hold them, then it's all about practice and repetition until you can do it. The tip about practicing with snacks for the repetition helps a lot. It's about struggling through, trying to eat the snacks with them until it slowly gets easier. Good luck!
Omg
My chopstick cannot stop crossing 😭
Yeah its normal at first for most people, It was the same for me. But with practice its gets better and easier.
Love your instruction
Same lol
For anyone having trouble preventing your thumb from bending: change the angle of the chopsticks. The chopsticks have to be perpendicular to your thumb, it can't be slanted downwards or upwards which was what I was doing wrong.
Yeah it gets easier with practice too as your hand naturally adjusts to how it suits you best.
thank you random internet helper
Best video, thank you! Really good emphasis on keeping good form!
Thank you so much for the kind words :D
Im half asian and live in asia since im 5 until now. Been almost everywhere in asia and the most awesome technic when eating is using hand ✋ its easy just wash your hands then eat!! i learned that in the Philippines. So why not go for the easiest way,.. right? 😂😂
😂😂😂I do that natural chOpsTicks
I'm half Filipina and love eating with my fingers😂
Makes my xbox 1 controller messy while playing eating with hands, stew is bad with fingers.
i don't want to get sauce, gravy or oil all over my hand
I dont fcken even wash my hand, additional umami (wink)
Thank you TH-cam for recommending this out of nowhere
Haiden'e Monokuma you evil little bear!

Using my knitting needles as Chopsticks to practice. This video is so informative. Thank you very much 💖💖
You're welcome, I'm really glad it was useful to you. Enjoy using them in the future!
Out of all the how to use chopstick videos I watched, this one was actually really helpful. I was able to get it down pretty quickly!
Nice one! I'm glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future!
i find it hard to hold the bottom stick in place because when i start moving, even if my thumb is motionless the bottom stick will slide off of my finger
Yeah it was the same for me in the beginning too, it just takes practice, the tip about practising with snacks helps a lot. Good luck! 😄👍
@@LeesRandomVids thanks!
yeah same, i have the silver chopsticks so they just sideeee right off
This was an amazing vid that actually worked, so now I have gotten the hang of it, I just need to practice for muscle memory
Thank you!!! Yes you are exactly right! Once you know how then it's just down to practice and repetition for the muscle memory that makes perfect. The tip about practising with snacks helps a lot. Enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
This is the BEST tutorial for learning how to use chopsticks , WELL DONE
Gosh i have been wanting to learn this for YEARS!
idk why I'm searching for it now!
Thank you I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future!
Pretty easy to learn! Thank you so much! I've been having a difficult time learning how to use chopsticks but with this video, so awesome, it's easy as 1-2-3! ✨🔥
You're welcome! I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future!
The bottom chopstick always slips, screw that!!! FORKS FOREVER!
Haha, depends how hungry you are at the time.
Seriously tho, it does get easier over time, you just need to stick with it. Geddit, stick.. I'll get my coat :D
I had the same problem before , but the golden rule is to fix your thumb and squeeze the bottom chopstick with bottom of the your thumb and the ring finger, just some practice and you're good .
True tho i got cramps using the chopstick
@@sylvia2930 Yes it takes little bit of time to get used to it :)
Chopsticks used eating for fun...😂😂😂
So my mom said I was too "westernized" for not being able to hold chopsticks so, here I am fellow Asians!
hope it helps 😃
Can you use it now lol I’m Asian as well and as you probably can tell I can’t use it 🤦🏻♂️
The popcorn and peanut trick is amazing, not only you're practicing how to use chopsticks properly, but you're also enjoying something delicious and thus motivating yourself even more.
Yeah! 😄👍👍👍
Asian's just eat rice as practice but in reality you're just eating food.
It's like the secret to being a good basketball player is...
playing more basketball.
I really just watched this at 1:30am while I’m in the process of making ramen 🥴
😄👍
When you're asian and use chopsticks wrong
This video is intended to teach people how to use chopsticks can't who already use them. It's not intended to tell people who already can to use them any differently.
@@LeesRandomVids Wait so should I just keep using my old variation then?
@@emp3rlarct146 if it works it works ma dude
And the Scottish dude teaches you
Is it normal for my chopsticks to cross at the top when I close it to grab food? Cause that’s how it works when I eat with chopsticks?
Come on taehyung hold my hand teach me it's very hard😂😂
Uuhhhh it took me only some hour's to nicely use it 😁 but at first I had used to practice it with pen's and I didn't knew the right way to use it and I thought it was right and practice it with pen's and later l bought chopsticks and saw this video and learn it very fast 😉
@@perayaforeever3910 same here .... I too tried with pens , pencil's and small peace's of sticks and now I'm ready for it. ....... I can handle the Chopstick very well.......😅
@@gulfkanawut1960 Really great 😊
Lol 😂
cheers..i keep fing up by moving my thumb and use that and the index (rather than index and middle) to actuate the movement of the top stick
You're welcome, I'm really glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video!
The thing about keeping the thumb staight is absolutely true. When my thumb is not straight, my middle finger moves on its own to assist the ring finger in keeping the chopstick (or in my case, pencil) in place!
You're welcome, I'm really glad it helped. Enjoy using them in the future! 😄👍
@@LeesRandomVids I will, thank you!!
Literally the best video!!! I watched it twice and I got it on the first trial itself.... it's really easy you'll just have to practice more.
Edit -
Now I can handle chopsticks with left hand as well and that too in 4 days !!! Feels like a big achievement🤩
Just practice guys its not impossible !!!
Thank you so much, And wow you learnt with both hands! Impressive. Yes you are correct, the secret with these is just to practice. I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
@@LeesRandomVids i practiced a lot first with wooden chopsticks, then moving to the metal ones and thanks to you now i can eat any food using chopsticks without any problem!! tysm!!
Thank you! I can use chopsticks, but I’m clumsy with them . I wondered why I sometimes crossed my sticks, now I know I’m not holding the bottom steady with my thumb. Exactly what I needed. I can hardly wait to try them again.
Nice one! And You're welcome. I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! It just takes practice, the tip about practising with snacks helps a lot. Good luck!
This video is very correct. there are some other videos teaching 'incorrect' ways with 13000000 views. Thank you.
Thank you, and you're welcome! 😃
I remember when I came here after watching kdrama for the first time.
😄
Seems as though you've explained my exact failure so eloquently.
TY, I'm glad it helped :)
Who want to eat noodles with chopsticks after Naruto.
Me!!!
Yo💀
Hope it helps 😄

My family uses chopsticks since we are chinese
Thank you so much😭 a Filipina like me is having a hard time using chopsticks but you made it a lot easier 💖
You're welcome! I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future!
One of the reasons why I eat ramen with fork..I know a disgrace
_Smile_ what disgrace?
if they are asian that's a disgrace lmao ( i am asian 😂)
Nice pfp
I’m ur 100th like
[Insert bruh moment]
I'll try them....so lets see. I bought the Sth.Korean,and I had a month trying to use them correctly and I can't.
So... seems that your teaching can help! Thanks.
Good luck, I hope it helps you. Once you know the basic technique its just practice practice practice. If you bought the metal ones they are the most difficult to use.
Thank you so so much, it was a perfect lesson that I succeeded in a one try after many years of trying. Thank you so much again 👍👍👍👍
You're welcome! I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
This is great - I watched about 6 videos before this one, and they all negected to mention the importance of keeping the thumb straight and still. Makes all the difference!
ive been holding em wrong for 17 years, this is my time to learn while eating ramen
Haha, if you can eat with them then you are using them right. This tutorial is intended to teach people who can't use them how to use them. It's not intended to tell people who can already use them that they should use them differently. There are many ways, it's up to you how you use them really. 😃👍
Until I started watching Japanese cooking videos, I didn’t understand why they didn’t just use forks! After watching the Chefs preparations, I started understanding that their Culture. Not everyone can afford a proper knife. The knife handlers are professionals, in cutting sharpening & maintaining expensive knives. They prepare their food in bite sized meals,& without concentrating on what you are doing, you miss your mouth. It’s also very hard to operate an iPhone & eat. Kinda makes meals, a family time again. No one gobble up a meal, & run away from family. It’s probably dietary too, it keeps your mind on what you’re doing. Think about trying to eat popcorn with chopsticks! One bag would be more than plenty, at one sitting. Chopsticks could be what’s missing in making our family’s strong & Great Again! Right along with prayers and Manners! Maybe the Japanese are a whole lot smarter, than we take them for! I’m going to practice with chopsticks, I have a lot more respect for their Culture, after watching their delicious food preparation! Thanks for the video!
Yeah I agree with you there, meal times being family time instead of using the phones etc. Good luck with your practicing! :D
I watched many videos on youtube to see how to use chopsticks and with this video, I finally found out! thanks for the detailed explanation :)
Thank you! I'm really glad it helped you!!! And I hope you enjoy using them in the future! :D
Why I feel the need to sit on my bedroom floor and learn how to use chopsticks at 12:45 in the morning is beyond me, but it's kinda fun. This video made so much sense, idk why it's taken so many years to click in my brain on how to use chopsticks but now that it has I'm so excited to use them. 😆
Nice one! I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future!
I've struggled to use chop sticks my whole life. I made it my new years resolution to learn how to use them. I'm still struggling but practicing as much as i can. How can something look so natural to others yet so complex to me...
Yeah it's just practice mate, It will come. Honestly, practising by eating snacks in the house helped me a lot. Good luck! 👍😃
Just use them every day and you’ll get used to them
I learnt this that fast. 😭 thank you so much 💯🙌🏾☺️
You're welcome! I'm really glad it helped, enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍
I'm asian and so my family always made fun of me, but this video really helped.
Don't know why I didn't look it up sooner lol
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped! 😄👍
The best chopsticks tutorial ever!
