A viral TikTok video has introduced a creative and humorous way to use chopsticks, in which a TikToker demonstrates a DIY hack to make eating sushi easier. The trick involves taping two chopsticks to a peg, offering a makeshift solution for those who struggle with the traditional utensil.

Creative use of everyday items

While chopsticks might seem tricky at first, they are an essential part of many Asian dining experiences. Whether you’re eating sushi, noodles, or even dim sum, using chopsticks correctly is a skill that many take pride in. For beginners, it's helpful to keep the sticks steady by holding the top one like a pencil, while the bottom stick remains still. With a little practice, eating with chopsticks can become second nature.
