- Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Mix well and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.

Excellent!. Sauce was a bit sweet for my taste and next time I might halve the sugar or omit it altogether as the hoisin is quite sweet by nature. Also might add some red pepper flakes for some POW!
