Spicy gochujang pork stew

After watching a Food Network Korean food special featuring John Torode on I was inspired to get some more Gochujang and try a few experiments. This is the first result.

I would normally use pork shoulder or a similar cut for this type of recipe, but as I had some fatty gammon available I used that.

I have documented this so I have a good record which I can use to modify and improve this recipe. I fear this first experiment may be too spicy!

It transpires that my fears were well grounded. On tasting the stew it was way too hot to eat so I made an attempt to rescue the meal by draining and discarding the existing sauce and adding a can of chopped tomatoes for the final 30 minutes. The result was rather good and much less hot.

The ingredients below are the modified version!
