I use a fork at home and don’t understand why it’s an issue. Italians and Spaniards eat rice with a fork.

I’m guessing sticky short grain rice is easier, or when it’s mixed in with sauce and other food to bind it.

It’s not easy with chopsticks.
Quite honestly if I’m faced with it I either get a spoon or if lacking I have to hold the bowl up to my mouth and sweep it in with the chopsticks.

Most cultures that use long grained rice don’t use chopsticks, it’s either using their hands directly or a spoon (both are how I grew up eating rice and I dare say much of South and southeast asia). Ironically with sticky rice it’s harder with sauce as it tends to un-bind the rice.

Thanks, that makes sense

You use the chopsticks differently for rice. Think “shovel”
