Ingredients
- 1.5 lb pork belly (samgyeopsal)
Marinade
- 1.5 cup wine (red or white)
- 1 tsp whole peppercorns (colored peppercorns are even better)

Instructions
- If samgyeopsal are thick cuts, OPTIONALLY, you can score one side of the pork belly slice - across the layers.
- In a bowl, add the samgyeopsal, wine, bay leaves, peppercorns and rosemary sprigs.
- For a nicer presentation, roll each pork belly slice with a bay leaf in the center. Then add marinade.
- Marinate for 2-3 hrs before cooking. You can leave it overnight in the fridge. For red wine marinade, do not marinade longer than 24 hrs.
