For the Pickled Pineapple
Place pineapple, jalapeños, and red pepper flakes in a medium-sized bowl. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl whisk vinegar, sugar, and salt together until the sugar dissolves. Pour the vinegar mixture over the pineapple and toss to coat. Let the pineapple sit for at least 1 hour before using.
For the Cabbage Slaw
Place cabbage, scallions, and sesame seeds in a large bowl and toss to combine.
In a small bowl combine ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Pour sesame dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
For the Pork Burgers
Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Using a clean hand, mix the contents of the bowl until uniform. Form mixture into four evenly-sized patties. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron frying pan or grill over high heat until smoking. Reduce heat to medium and add the burgers. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
For the Teriyaki Sauce
While the burgers are cooking, whisk sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, then remove from the heat. Brush on both sides of the cooked pork burgers.
