Ayam Pansoh Sarawak
(Malaysian Chicken in Bamboo)
Serves 6
									 
1kg chicken pieces
1 local brinjal, skinned and cut into wedges
1-2 lemongrass, bruised
20g bungkang leaves (can substitute with daun salam or dried bay leaves)
20g ginger, sliced
10g red chilies, seeded and sliced
1 tsp salt
Bamboo log
Tapioca leaves or banana leaf

Combine all the ingredients, except the last two, in a mixing bowl
and set aside for 10 minutes. Stuff into the bamboo log and seal
with the tapioca leaves of banana leaf.  Cook the chicken by standing
the bamboo log sealed side up, over burning wood or charcoal, for
30 minutes.

To serve, remove the tapioca/banana leaf and drain the tasty juice
into a bowl. Split the bamboo to extract the chicken and arrange
on a serving dish with the juice.
