I used Chopsticks for the first ever time !!

Things to remember:

• Noodles and I always have a rough and tough experience when we come across each other.
  
• I did not prepare the recipe that we are going to discuss now.
  

Mission : To try hogging a plate of noodles with the help of Chopsticks.

Not an easy mission folks. To be very frank, the apparatus looked like pencils to me. It was so heavenly to keep them on the plate to take a picture, rather than facing the worst.


Well, it definitely started off with me picking up a noodle (not noodles) and the word wierd was much felt every now and then. I was like "Dude!!! When am i going to finish this thing off??".


Slowly, after a lot of fumbling, destiny smiled at me instead of laughing. I was able to go beyond 10 degrees of curvature for the first time. :-) (Yeah Yeah. I can hear your applauds. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.)


But somehow there was only one single and simple question that came around my head.

Are chopsticks really advantageous than forks?

Anyways, you might not be in a position to give excuses when you land up in China, Japan, Korea or Indonesia.

Here are the actual tips. Happy meddling with the chopsticks.

1. Place one chopstick in the crook of your thumb and index finger. The chopstick should be at the base of your thumb and your thumb should be about 1/3 the way down from the broad end of the chopstick.

2. Rest the chopstick on your ring finger between ½ way and 2/3 the way down the chopstick. The first chopstick should now be very stable with one end securely between your thumb and index finger and the other end resting on your ring finger.

3. Place the second chopstick in your hand the way you would hold a pen. It should rest slightly on the tip of your thumb and be held into place with support from your middle finger.

4. Use your index and middle fingers to practice moving the tip of the top chopstick up and down. The bottom chopstick should remain relatively still. As you move the top one down the tip should meet up with the tip of the bottom one.

5. Imagine you are pinching something. If the tips aren't meeting up, adjust one chopstick so they do because it will be very difficult to pick anything up if the two chopsticks aren't evenly aligned.

6. Attempt to pick up some food! Start with large chunks of food like chopped up vegetables or meat . Once you get the hang of that you can try the trickier foods like rice and grains.

7. Practice Practice Practice!
