INSTRUCTIONS
Place rice sticks in a large bowl; pour boiling water over to cover
noodles. Let stand until tender to bite (about 30 minutes); drain well and
set aside.
Meanwhile, combine radishes, salt and 4 tb. of the vinegar. Let stand until
radishes are limp (about 30 minutes). Drain radishes, rinse well under cold
running water, and drain again; set aside.
In a wok or wide frying pan, combine remaining 2 tb. vinegar, sugar, 2 tb.
of the fish sauce and 1/4 tsp. of the crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil
over high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour over noodles and
add radishes; mix lightly until well coated.
Mound noodle mixture on one side of a large platter or on individual
plates. Arrange bean sprouts on other side. Garnish with mint leaves.
Place wok or frying pan over high heat. When pan is hot, add oil; then add
steak slices, garlic, remaining 2 tb. fish sauce and remaining 1/4 tsp.
crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, until meat is no longer pink (3 to 4
minutes). Remove from heat and stir in onions.
Spoon meat mixture over noodles and bean sprouts; serve immediately. Pass
peanuts and lime wedges at the table.
