CAI BAO FILLING (VEGETABLE TOFU BUN FILLING, SESAME-FLAVORED)
A savory, sesame-soy flavored spinach stir-fry. This can be served as a course on its own, but is much more tasty as a filling for steamed buns. Herbs, greens tofu, and mushroom is one of the most common fillings found in street stall, aside from the ubiquitous rou bao (pork filled buns). Since we don't have access to some of the wonderful fresh herbs here, I substituted spinach for them and went heavier on sesame and soy flavors.
