Fish cooked in bamboo

Prepare the fish.

Chop into pieces.

Put in ingredients such as lemon grass, garlic, onion, ginger, chilli, salt, pepper, sesame oil.

Mix them well.

That's how it looks like inside the bamboo.

Put the well-mixed and seasoned fish into the bamboo.

3 bamboos ready for cooking.  Can buy these at the jungle produce market.  Price range from RM0.50 (small) to RM2 (big) per piece.

Prepare the barbeque pit.

Block the entrance of the bamboos with tapioca leaves or banana leaves or can use kangkong leaves together with stems.  This is done to retain the steam inside the bamboo.  It works like a high pressure cooker.

After cooking, the bamboo will get charred but it's ok.

After it is cooked, pour out the fish into a bowl.  

That's fish cooked in bamboo.
