Manok Pansuh (Bamboo Chicken)

 This is Sarawak traditional dish which typically cooked in a bamboo and served during special occasions like Gawai, etcs. However, I cooked mine in a pressure cooker and managed to get the similar flavour and texture except bamboo aroma but I don't feel it such a big deal because the aroma from the herbs is sufficiently appetising. Besides that this is a healthy dish because of natural flavour and non-oily.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Minggu ni cuti Hari Gawai seminggu.... synonim dengan Hari Gawai, tetiba teringin pula nak makan lauk Ayam Pansuh yang kebiasaan nya di hidangkan oleh kaum Iban/Dayak/dll natives di Sarawak ni. Tak lengap duduk di Sarawak ni kalau anda tak merasa masakan ni. Walau pun bahan2 nya simple tetapi rasa ayam nya manis dan harum apabila di masak di dalam buluh seperti membakar lemang. Nak bakar dalam lemang banyak pula kerja nya.... so Along pun experiment & masak dalam pressure cooker.... alhamdulillah, rasa nya 99% perfect to my liking... ayam nya lembut, 'manis' dan sebati dengan bau2an herba. Masakan begini juga lebih sihat sebab tidak berminyak.
