Step 1
Boil vermicelli noodles in salted water until tender, about 4 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Step 2
Brown ground pork in a skillet over medium-high, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Wet a spring roll wrapper and lay flat; add 1 tbsp cooked pork, fold sides in, roll tightly, and set seam-side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (oil should shimmer and sizzle when a wrapper edge touches it); fry rolls until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Whisk fish sauce, lime juice, and 2 tbsp water together to make dipping sauce; taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 6
Divide noodles and lettuce between bowls, top with warm crispy rolls, and serve with fish sauce dip.
