My favorite is pho bo.

A good way to learn technique is to use two small dishes. Put some dried
beans in one and practice moving them to the other and back with the
chopsticks. That is how I was shown. Picking up small hard objects
makes you learn the right technique because it is impossible to do it
using the technique you see on TV shows. Best ones to use to learn are
the square sawcut wood ones that you break apart. After you get the
technique it will be just as easy to use the enameled rounded ones.
