South African chef struggles to use chopsticks to eat her sushi

The video posted by chef and social media food influencer, Zanele Van Zyl (@cookingwithzanele) shows her seated at a restaurant before a plate of sushi.

Zanele is seen trying to grab a piece of the Japanese rice dish using chopsticks but struggles greatly to handle the sticks to her desire. Frustrated with the tedious utensils, Zanele soon checks to see if the coast is clear as she grabs the sushi with her hands and dips it into some soy sauce before placing it into her mouth.

"How to eat sushi, one on one," Zanele humorously captioned the post.

According to Mutsuhisa, to eat sushi with chopsticks, simply place your sticks on either side of the piece and use your forefinger to gently pinch it. Avoid spearing the sushi with your chopsticks, as this can damage the delicate roll.

According to Hiro88, some people are surprised to learn that sushi is traditionally a finger food, eaten with one's hands. Chopsticks aren't necessary when eating maki rolls or nigiri (raw fish atop rice). However, sashimi—sliced raw fish—is eaten with chopsticks.

In another story, Briefly News reported that a food influencer recorded herself eating sushi for the first time and the clip went viral.

She cautiously took a bite of the staple Japanese rice dish and struggled to grab the rolls with the chopsticks. It seems sushi really is an acquired taste because her face could not hide her dislike for the food.

After her taste test, she hilariously pulled Six Gun spice out of nowhere and ate a sizeable amount to cleanse the taste of the vinegar-flavoured cold rice. She refused to touch the raw meat on the side and people advised her in the comments on how she could elevate the taste.
