Instructions: Soak noodles in 8 cups cold water for 45 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and saute, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add broccoli, onions, snow peas, celery, carrots, bell pepper and mushrooms, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add peanuts, fish sauce, chile paste, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper powder and noodles, and cook, stirring continuously, until heated through and well mixed, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped mint.

Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with bean sprout and leeks and garnish with mint sprig.
