Pad fak thong, stir-fried pumpkin with egg, is one of the simplest dishes in Thai home cooking, and a lovely way to use a pumpkin this Halloween. Sweet pumpkin, plenty of garlic, soft scrambled egg and a glossy oyster sauce, with Thai sweet basil and a little chilli at the end. A dense, sweet pumpkin like kabocha holds its shape best.

You'll need: 1 pumpkin (700 to 850 g), 5 eggs, 3 cloves of garlic, 45 ml oyster sauce, 22 ml soy sauce, 5 g sugar, a handful of Thai sweet basil, ground pepper, chilli (optional) and a splash of oil.

Peel the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds and cut it into chunks. Chop the garlic. Boil the pumpkin for 4 to 5 minutes, until it's about 80% cooked, then lift it out and tip away the water. Add a splash of oil to the pan, fry the garlic until fragrant, then add the eggs and stir them into soft curds. Put the pumpkin back in with the oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar and toss until everything is glossy. Finish with the basil, the chilli if you're using it, and a sprinkle of pepper on top.

With gluten-free oyster and soy sauce it's gluten-free too, and both are on our shelves at Pachara. Happy Halloween, and if you make it, I'd love to see it!

Creamy green curry (GF)

A bowl of green curry is about as comforting as Thai cooking gets, and this one is gluten-free, served over rice vermicelli noodles.

Serves 2 to 3

400ml coconut milk
50g green curry paste
15g palm sugar
1.5g ground turmeric
15ml fish sauce
350g chicken, thinly sliced
140g bamboo shoots
5 Thai aubergines, quartered
15g Thai sweet basil (a big handful)
Fresh chilli, sliced (optional)
Rice vermicelli noodles, to serve

1. Fry the curry paste in the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk for a minute or two, until fragrant.
2. Add the chicken and stir until it's coated and starting to colour.
3. Pour in the rest of the coconut milk with the palm sugar, turmeric and fish sauce, and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Add the bamboo shoots and aubergines and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the aubergines are tender.
5. Take off the heat, stir in the basil and chilli, if using, and serve over the noodles.

If you're cooking gluten-free, check the labels on your curry paste and fish sauce, as a few brands contain wheat. Most of what you need is on our shelves in Crouch End, Stoke Newington and Stroud Green.

Tom yum goong. This is the hot and sour prawn soup for when the weather turns.

The first cold evenings of autumn call for something that warms the senses This one is sour from the lime, salty from the fish sauce and warm from the chilli, with fragrant galangal, lemongrass and lime leaf running through it. A splash of evaporated milk makes it creamy, so it's the gentler, richer style of tom yum. It's naturally gluten-free, and you can find *almost* everything you need on our shelves.

Here's what you'll need 🦐

King prawns, 150 to 200g
soda water, 250ml
coconut water, 330ml
galangal, 5 thin slices
lemongrass, 2 stalks, bruised
makrut lime leaves, 2
plum tomatoes, 8 to 10
shimeji mushrooms, 1 pack

Seasoning:
Thai chilli paste, 1 to 2 tbsp
fish sauce, 3 tbsp
lime juice, 3½ tbsp
evaporated milk, ¼ cup
fresh chilli, optional
coriander, to garnish

Comment RECIPE and we'll send you the steps. 🌶️

Listen to that crunch. 🔊

This is our kimchi pancake, and it's completely gluten free. The trick is ice-cold soda, which makes the batter light and gives the edges that shatteringly crisp finish. It serves two or three happy people, and it's on the table in about twenty minutes.

You'll find everything for it on our shelves at any Pachara store 🥢

Kimchi pancake (GF). Serves 2 to 3.

1 cup gluten-free flour
250ml soda water, ice cold
1 cup kimchi, roughly chopped, with a splash of its juice
1 tsp gochugaru
1 spring onion, finely sliced
Neutral oil, for frying

Dipping sauce

2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil

Stir the flour and cold soda together until just combined, then fold in the kimchi, gochugaru and spring onion. Heat a generous layer of oil in a frying pan until it shimmers. Pour in the batter and spread it thin. Fry for three to four minutes on each side until it is deep golden and crisp. Whisk the sauce ingredients together, slice the pancake into wedges and dip.

Save this one for a cold night. 🌶️

Lisa made it, Jimmy Kimmel blushed, and now Pear and William are putting it to the test. 🍋 Does the viral Soju Lemonade B**r live up to the hype?

Grab a bottle of soju in any of our stores and make it at home.

P.S. หมดแก้ว (mod gâew) means bottom up!
