On your dominant hand, place first chopstick between middle finger and thumb.
Second chopstick is between forefinger and thumb.
Keep tips of chopsticks parallel.
First chopstick remains stationary and the second chopstick is used to maneuver and "pinch" the food.
Pinch only small pieces of food. Bring them to your rice bowl.
Depending on culture, the texture of rice is different. If it is a sticky clumpy rice.
You might pinch your dish and carry into your mouth, then pinch a clumpy rice to "go with that piece of dish".
If your rice isn't clumpy, you'll use your chopsticks to "sweep" rice in your
mouth. Note that this practice is acceptable in most asian cultures but Korea.
