2. Cut pork, radish, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, bean curd, and the mushroooms. Mix these with the set aside flour paste and the beans.
3. Beat the eggs, fry them, and cut them up and add to the mixture along with the peanuts and the fried onions.
4. Fill the rolled sheets of dough folding each one into the shape of ears. They can now be boiled, steamed, baked, or fried.
