Eating Rice With Chopsticks

How do you eat rice with chopsticks?

The Japanese pick up their bowl off the table closer to their mouths and simply pick up their sticky rice. Any other way is deemed rude.

The Koreans keep their bowl on the table and use a long, slender bowl in tandem to move sticky rice into their mouth. Any other way is deemed rude.

The Chinese (inventors) bring the bowl all the way to their mouths and whisk the rice into their mouths. Any other way is deemed rude. It also seems to be the most efficient method.

How do you even eat rice with chopsticks?

I actually just took my grandson for sushi for the first time this past weekend and taught him to use chopsticks.

When rice is served in a bowl, it is traditional in most Asian countries to hold the bowl near your mouth and actually use the chopsticks together to sort of shovel the rice into your mouth.

Rice in traditional Asian cuisine is a bit sticky so when rice is on the plate you can use your chopsticks, again together, to sort of scoop it up in clumps.

But of course, if you are experienced with chopsticks you should also be able to pick up individual grains one by one. That's a lot slower method though. :)

How do asian people eat rice with chopsticks!!?

It´s actually easier to eat with chopsticks if you grew up with it since it´s easier to gather up grains than with a fork. Since it´s common to shovel the rice directly from the bowl, it´s faster to eat with chopsticks than a fork because of this.

Since rice is often a side dish to a main course, unless you were having soup as a main course, eating it with a spoon would just mean another utensil you´d have to have lying around, whereas chopsticks are a more universal eating utensil.

Japanese rice especially, since it usually clumps together, can be easily picked up with chopsticks, but often rice is served in "rice bowls" which are shaped in such a way that you can shovel it into your mouth with the chopsticks. Sounds like bad manners in western culture but in Asian culture it is proper.

Without rice bowls, we usually just hold the chopsticks in such a way that it makes kind of a 2 pronged fork and scoop it up that way.

Why can Chinese people eat rice with chopsticks?

In most Asian cultures, chopsticks are used. Places like China or Japan makes use of chopsticks more often than not, but countries like South Korea, eats rice with metal spoons.You asked “Why can (. . .” you aren’t meaning “how can” right? Because the reason why us Chinese people eat with chopsticks is because of thousands of years of culture and tradition. How about you ask “Why do you put your cereal before the milk?” Well, because traditionally, you make more of a mess the other way, eh? So, the reason we use chopsticks is because, during the Zhou Dynasty, the Chinese invented them. That started in times before “B.C” was even a term.When something like that has been used for so long, you don’t exactly question it. We use chopsticks because my mother, and my mother’s mother, and so-on have been using chopsticks. And my neighbors father, and my neighbor’s father’s father used chopsticks. And my Thai best friend, she uses chopsticks, too. Because here, all around you, people are using an eating utensil that has been used for over thousands of years. It’s culture. It’s tradition. It’s special to us. To Asians. To the Chinese, whom invented them. To the Americans, the British, the Australians, and other who enjoy cultures of Asia. It’s a system. Just like wearing slippers in a house. It’s proper, & that’s just the way we do it here. That’s all. :)

Are you able to pick up a grain of rice with chopsticks?

Yes.There are several ways. Often the rice is cooked in a way that it is a bit sticky, so you can pick it up by shearing it sideways with a chopstick to peel it off the bowl/plate surface and it will adhere to the stick.But maybe you’re rice isn’t sticky enough, because it has sauce on it or is a drier cooked form, like an Indian style basmati rice. Now you worry less about the rice grain sticking to the banana leaf, and you can gently pinch it with the tips of the chopsticks.Finally, if you’re dealing with an uncooked grain, you might be able to pull it off with the right shaped sticks and coming in from directly overhead to pinch it. But it is easier just to press it with your fingertip.
