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.
