Instructions

1. Soak the rice noodles in very hot water until just pliable, 8 to 10 minutes, then drain, rinse briefly with cool water, and set aside; slice the flank steak, Napa cabbage, Walla Walla onion, cucumber, cilantro, garlic, and ginger.
2. Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl; toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of this sauce and let it stand while the pan heats.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until very hot, then add 2 teaspoons oil; spread the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for about 1 minute, then stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes more until browned but still tender. Transfer to a plate.
4. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet, then add the Walla Walla onion and stir-fry for 1 minute; add the Napa cabbage and cook 2 to 3 minutes until wilted at the edges but still crisp.
5. Add the drained noodles and remaining sauce to the skillet, tossing with tongs for 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles absorb the sauce and loosen; splash in a tablespoon of water if needed.
6. Return the beef and any juices to the skillet and toss just until warmed through, about 30 seconds; taste and adjust with a little extra lime juice or fish sauce if desired.
7. Plate the noodle stir-fry in shallow bowls and top with cucumber slices and cilantro for a cool, fresh contrast.
