Pick up the first chopstick and place it between your middle finger and the base of
your thumb. This one is your anchor -- it should not move. Stiffen your hand for a
firm grip. Have the broad end of the chopstick lay in the crook of your hand, where
your thumb and pointer finger connect. Rest the narrow end between the base of
your thumb and the side of your index finger. It should be virtually immobile. It's
similar to how you hold a pen, but a bit lower.

 Some may prefer to hold the chopstick on the side of their ring finger, with the
tip of their ring finger holding it in place. This frees the middle finger to hold
the other chopstick more securely and provides that one with more control. It
is a more formal approach.
