Directions
-
Step 1
Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 131ºF (55ºC).
-
Step 2
Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper and place in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Add 1 tablespoon coconut milk and seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting. Place in the water bath and set the timer for 15 minutes.

Step 3
When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Set aside.

Step 4
Meanwhile, make the curry sauce: Combine 1/2 cup coconut milk and the curry paste in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook at a rapid simmer until the oil begins to separate out of the coconut milk, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Step 5
Add the remaining coconut milk and chicken stock, return to a rapid simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 6
Stir in the enoki mushrooms, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Thai basil. Season the curry to taste with additional fish sauce and palm sugar.

Step 7
While curry is simmering, prepare the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse, and divide between serving bowls.
