Steps:

1. Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not tear them. Set aside.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and rice bran oil in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease; transfer beef to a bowl. Cook and stir onion in the same skillet used for beef until slightly tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and chili pepper sauce into onions. Add water chestnuts, mushrooms, green onions, sesame oil, and cooked beef; cook and stir until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.

3. Fry the mung bean noodles in rice bran oil until the noodles are white and crispy. 

4. Using the mung bean noodles as a bed, arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter and pile meat mixture in the center. If desired, use mung bean noodles as a garnish. Use hoisin sauce as a dipping sauce.
