Use the spoon for rice and the chopsticks for side dishes, but you can ask for
forks or knives at restaurants. Do not stir your rice or your soup. Do not leave
the spoon or chopsticks in the rice as it symbolizes their use by the dead.
Knives are used only in the preparation of food, not as eating utensils because
Korean food is either pre-cut into bite-sized pieces or is soft enough to be
pulled apart using chopsticks.
