Cook Vermicelli Noodles: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Then add the noodles and boil for 5 minutes; strain, cool under cold running water, and strain.
Make the Peanut Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk sweet Thai chili sauce, chunky peanut butter, lime juice, zest, and water and set aside.
Cook the Hoisin Mushrooms: Heat a medium saute pan on medium-high heat and add oil to the hot pan. Then add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sear by letting them sit and brown without stirring for one minute.
Stir the mushroom to allow the other sides to brown, and let it sit again for another minute. Then add the garlic and combine, occasionally stirring for thirty seconds to prevent the garlic from burning.
Deglaze the pan by adding the vegetable broth and scraping the bottom to lift the cooked, flavorful bits to incorporate them into the mixture. Then add the hoisin sauce and stir the ingredients to combine well; remove from the heat, and set aside.
Make the Vegetable Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cabbage slaw mix, cucumbers, red bell peppers, cilantro, mint, and dressing.
Plate Up: Divide the vegetable salad among the bowls evenly and place it on one-half side of the bowl, then place the vermicelli noodles on the other half.
Divide evenly and scoop the hoisin mushrooms into the center of the dish. Garnish by sprinkling on the scallions and drizzling on the siracha sauce.
