Teriyaki Pork & Pineapple Wontons are a little like taking a step back in time to the 70’s & 80’s when sweet & sour pork was all the rage & there was pineapple in everything. There was much to love about these decades for me – the music. These crispy little cups, filled with the the perfect blend of salty stickiness, are ridiculously easy to make & the recipe can easily be doubled. And they’re a little more 2019 than 1979. Or not.
