Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Thread the pork and cucumbers onto separate skewers. In a large mixing bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the sauce.
Over medium-hot coals, grill the pork until firm (about 8-10 minutes) and the cucumber until tender and nicely browned (about 6 minutes).
Slide the pork and cucumbers off the skewers and toss in a large bowl with the sauce. Grill the scallions until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Cut scallions into 1-inch lengths and toss with pork mixture. Toss in the pasta, garnish with mint leaves and serve.
