Instructions

Place mushrooms and vermicelli in 2 separate bowls with lukewarm water to cover. Let soak until softened, at least 15 minutes. Drain mushrooms and chop into small cubes. Drain vermicelli.
Heat 1 to 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add duck; cook, stirring continuously, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer duck to a bowl.
Heat about 3 inches vegetable oil in a medium-large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add vermicelli; fry until fritters are crisp and crunchy but not golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the remaining vegetable oil into the wok over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Return duck to the wok; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Place vermicelli fritters on a large plate; pour the duck stir-fry on top. To eat, drizzle hoisin sauce on a piece of lettuce; spoon the duck and vermicelli stir fry on top. Hold the lettuce wrap together with your fingers.
