Carefully stuff the marinated chicken and aromatics into the prepared bamboo stalks. Do not overfill.

Seal the open ends of the bamboo stalks tightly with banana leaves or aluminum foil to prevent steam from escaping.

Place the sealed bamboo stalks upright or at an angle in a pot or wok. Add enough water to come halfway up the bamboo stalks. Cover and cook over medium heat.

Cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through. The liquid inside the bamboo will form a flavorful broth.

Carefully remove the bamboo stalks from the pot. Serve the Ayam Pansuh hot, either by slicing open the bamboo stalks at the table or by scooping the chicken and broth into serving bowls.
