Summarize the following:
Eating rice with a set of chopsticks is easiest if you're using your chopsticks the way they were intended to be used. Luckily, this is easy to learn! Start by lining up your two chopsticks and holding them in your dominant hand. Slide them into the "crook" between your thumb and the side of your hand. The "squishy" part at the base of your thumb should pin them in place. You'll want the two chopsticks to be lined up on top of each other, not side-to-side. With the two chopsticks resting in the crook of your thumb, slide the top one up so that you're holding it with your thumb, index, and middle fingers. The pad of your thumb should hold the stick from the side. Your index finger should bend around it and rest on top. Your middle finger should support the stick from the other side. This may sound complicated, but it should be fairly similar to how you'd hold a pen or pencil! If you're having trouble, set the other chopstick down so you can concentrate on this one. It's easy to slide back in later. One of the most important things to remember when eating with chopsticks is that the bottom chopstick doesn't move. Keep holding it in place with the fleshy part at the base of your thumb. Light pressure should be find. You don't need to keep a death grip on it. Bend your ring finger so that it supports the bottom of the stick with the side of your last knuckle.
Hold both chopsticks with the side of your thumb. Grasp the top chopstick like a pencil. Keep the bottom chopstick steady.
