Instructions

1. Whisk 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Coat 1 pound pork tenderloin in the mixture and refrigerate for 15 minutes while heating a grill to medium-high.
2. Whisk 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to make 6 1/2 tablespoons dressing.
3. Thinly slice 1 large cucumber and 3 green onions, then chop 1/2 cup cilantro. Toss 1 large sliced cucumber, 3 sliced green onions, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro with 3 tablespoons dressing; chill until serving.
4. Bring 2 quarts water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a boil. Cook 6 ounces Pad Thai noodles until tender, about 4–5 minutes; drain, rinse under cold water, and drain thoroughly.
5. Remove the 1 pound pork tenderloin from its marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the 1 pound pork tenderloin for 10–14 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes, until its thickest part reaches 145°F; rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
6. Divide all 6 ounces cooked noodles between two shallow bowls and top with the full cucumber salad and the sliced 1 pound pork tenderloin. Spoon the final 3 1/2 tablespoons dressing over both bowls and plate immediately.
