Once the pork is browned and dry, add the bamboo shoots, then add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, and stir evenly. Pour in hot water, tie the green onions into knots, and place everything together in a pressure cooker. For an electric pressure cooker, select the porridge setting (26 minutes). For a gas pressure cooker, reduce to low heat for about 20 minutes after it starts steaming.
