Using a food processor, mix together the peanut butter, brown rice syrup, lime juice, shoyu or tamari, chile sauce, garlic and 1/3 cup warm water until combined thoroughly.
Toss noodles with 1/2 cup of the chile dressing.
Reserve remaining dressing, and set noodles and dressing aside.
For the lettuce wraps,arrange cilantro, coconut, peanuts, onions, limes, lettuce, hoisin sauce, chile noodles and reserved chile dressing in separate bowls.
Let guests create their own lettuce wraps by topping lettuce leaves with any or all of the items as they like.
