Add 1 T. of the oil and heat until hot, about 30 seconds. Add the bean sprouts and scallions and toss lightly for about 15 seconds. Spoon over the rice noodles.

Remove with a handled strainer and drain briefly, then arrange over the vegetables. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Spoon the Vietnamese Dressing over the top and serve. Makes 6 servings.
