If you grab a chip from a share plate, then any others you touch are now yours and you should move them to your plate immediately, without touching any others in the process. If you grab a handful of rice from a shared bowl, the entire bowl is now yours. | |

Rather, I would use a spoon or other utensil to serve out of any communal dish. I would say the general etiquette in the US anyway is not to touch anybody else's food (outside of close family if everybody agrees it is ok), either using a serving utensil or being careful to only touch your own piece when taken from a communal dish. | |
