Always looking for an excuse to use hoisin sauce in a vegetarian recipe. This was quite good as the hoisin mixed well with the beans. I cut back on the butter and oil and used a non-stick frying pan. My favorite brand of hoisin sauce is Lee Kum Kee brand, I've found that it's the best by far. Wrapped the leftovers in a small flour tortilla (good substitute for pancakes served at chinese restaurants, if you can't find any at the store) and had for lunch the next day. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

I had this dish at a friend's house last night for dinner and it was wonderful! I could have made a meal from just this one great tasting recipe. It is in my cookbook - Thanks HopeK
