Sesame Rice Noodles with Julienned Vegetables and Eggs

These rice noodles are bathed in a simple sesame and ginger vinaigrette and are tossed with crisp julienned vegetables, slivered eggs, cool herbs, hot Sriracha, peanuts and sesame seeds. The eggs are delicious, but you can certainly leave them out. I suspect shredded chicken or flaked salmon would also be delicious in their place.
