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 tbs 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 tbs vinegar, sugar, 2 tbs 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 tbs 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.
