It seems if a recipe calls for Hoisin sauce, that recipe is a keeper. So this one is becoming a favorite.
I chanced upon it from the Better Homes and Gardens site:

Of course, I always make a bit of modification so here's what I did but I'm cooking for at least 8 people here.
Ingredients:

•  4 lbs (usually 2 large packages or half of the restaurant sized package) extra-firm tofu, drained (instruction in steps)
•  1/4 cup water
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce 
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp honey 
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger - or tsp of grounded ginger
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, grated
• 2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed and halved lengthwise 

1. Cut tofu lengthwise into four 1-inch thick slices. Lay tofu slices on a double layer of paper towels. Top with another double layer of paper towels. Weigh down with a plate topped with cans to remove excess water from tofu. Let stand for at least 10 minutes. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes.
2. Meanwhile, stir together the water, hoisin, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and honey
3. In an extra-large skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu. Cook, without stirring until tofu begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook 4 to 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally until tofu is golden brown on all sides.
4. Transfer tofu to a plate. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add beans; cook 4 minutes or until barely tender. Return tofu to skillet. Add hoisin mixture; bring to boiling, stirring to coat. Serve with rice.
