Step 1
Combine fish sauce, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, and 2 tbsp water in a bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves. Set the dressing aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat until it shimmers. Work in batches and sear pork slices 2–3 minutes per side until charred at edges.
Step 3
While pork cooks, boil rice noodles in salted water until tender, about 4–5 minutes. Drain well.
Step 4
Divide noodles between two bowls. Top with charred pork, cucumber slices, and fresh herbs.
Step 5
Pour dressing over the bowl and toss everything together. Serve immediately.
