Pork Cutlet with Mushroom, Vodka and Chilli Sauce

I had actually planned using Char Sui Sauce as a marinade for the pork cutlets tonight but my plans changed when I got home to find we didn't have any Char Sui sauce.... so I guess Char Sui Pork Cutlet with Sesame Noodle Salad will have to wait for another day.

Needless to say I had to come up with something else using the pork cutlets which I did have. So in an imaginative mood I decided on tonight's meal, Pork Cutlet with Mushroom, Vodka and Chilli Sauce. I was fancying a creamy sauce also which was good as it calmed the chilli taste.
