Drop the rice noodles into a large pot of boiling water. Remove the pot from the heat immediately and leave to stand for 10 minutes or longer. Drain the noodles then rinse in cold water.
3. Put the beans and cooked, drained noodles in a large serving bowl with the roasted peanuts, coriander, sesame seeds and bean sprouts.
4. For the dressing: put the sesame oil, neutral oil and fish sauce in a jar and shake to combine. Toss the dressing through the noodles and season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Serve as a salad at room temperature or toss in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes for a stir-fry side dish to serve with meats. Garnish with lime wedges.
