  • 1 (2-inch) piece galangal, thinly sliced

  • 4 Thai chiles, stalks removed and lightly smashed

  • 4 oyster mushrooms, halved lengthwise

Directions

  • Step 1

    Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 149ºF (65ºC). Bring an additional 4 1/2 cups (1 L) water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.

  • Step 2

    Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper and place in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion method or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting. Place in the water bath and set the timer for 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, prepare the soup: Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and Thai chiles to the pot of boiling water. Continue to boil for 10 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, and onion. Continue to boil until the onions are soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the fish sauce and palm sugar, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the coconut milk, lime juice, chile paste, and cilantro. Season to taste with additional lime juice, fish sauce, and/or palm sugar.

    • Finishing Steps

      When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Immediately remove shrimp from the bag and transfer to the soup. Divide the soup between 2 serving bowls. Serve.
