pepper; then the onion and radish.  When sticky add ground peanut.

Thoroughly mix in other ingredients and cool.  Mix
the tapioca beads and some warm water to make a gelatinous mess.

Make a 3/4" ball of the sweet pork mix.  Take a small piece of the
tapioca gel, flatten, and wrap around the sweet pork ball.
