Using a spoon to eat noodles blows my mind. I either roll noodles onto my chopsticks until most of it is on there (I don't know if this makes sense, my ability to use words are failing at the moment), or I put the first bit in my mouth, then use my chopsticks to lift the next bit into my mouth, etc. until it's all in my mouth. Or I just bite down and let the rest slip back into the bowl (though I do this very rarely and only if my mouth is already full with other 菜.
Also the last time I read something about eating styles/methods during the Zhou dynasty, I recall that apparently the style of eating was 分餐制, i.e., all the 菜 were already portioned out and each person had their own portion with them. Chopsticks were used to transfer the 菜 to the rice bowl, at which point a spoon was used to eat the 菜 and 飯.
