It's so much easier and cheaper sometimes to buy it pre-made at the Korean market! :D I've made it homemade but prefer the convenience of store bought.

This is too much work for two cups of soup. I'd rather go down to my local seafood restaurant where it tastes just as good and I only spend $6/bowl.

But if you don't, I like to use the store bought dumplings from Asian market (I poo poo the ones from American markets and Costco) and I order in lo mein from my favorite Chinese restaurant... :o)

Cute, until you convert the price of 14000 yen to US dollars and one dish costs $170. PASS.

That Happy Chopsticks site is ridiculously expensive! I love the steel ones as well, but if you're not proficient with chopsticks, you may have a hard time using them.

Japanese and other Asian grocery stores usually carry a variety of chopsticks. Japanese stores, in particular, carry really pretty ones - some with geishas painted on them, others with cherry blossoms. I like the lacquered ones (usually wood), they last for awhile. The unlacquered wood ones absorb the flavors of the food after a while - not worth buying.

My mom used to say the kings in China had ivory ones and would test their food for poison by sticking the ivory chopsticks in their food. If the ivory turned black, there was poison in the food.
