Chopsticks are my favorite tools in the kitchen. I use it to beat eggs, stir boiling pasta, plating dishes for food photography, and, of course, eat my dinner with them.
I also make omelets using just a pair of chopsticks. Why dirty more utensils? Jaxson wanted to help make his cheesy spinach omelet so my husband took a video of us cooking together.
Tip: Make sure you oil the pan so the omelet doesn’t stick. Even if you’re using a non-stick skillet.
My favorite type of chopsticks are the inexpensive, plain wooden chopsticks (not the chinese takeout versions). I get the Chinese-style where the tips aren’t as narrow as the Japanese style. While the lacquered or painted ones are pretty, I find they are too slippery for noodles.
The kids use these super cute training chopsticks.
Do you use chopsticks when you cook?

Jaxson is adorable….wish I were so adept with chopsticks!
It's taken me plenty of practice!
Yea! This is how I learned to make an omelet from a Japanese American chef friend. Big clunky spatulas are more trouble than they're worth when it comes to omelets. Thanks for sharing. Nice breakfast dance by the sous chef.
I use spatulas sometimes, but I definitely prefer my chopsticks. Jaxson is a great sous chef!
Your son is too cute! And the music perfect for creating an omelet masterpiece!
