Heat Dutch oven or pot with vegetable oil under medium high heat. Add sliced pork belly. Sear on both sides for a few minutes.
Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, five spice powder, garlic, water, and red Idaho® potatoes. Add more water if needed to submerge at least 4/5 of the items. Bring to a boil.
Lower heat to medium low, cover and cook for 50 minutes. Check halfway through, stir, and add more water if the liquid is drying out.
Remove from heat.
Serve with rice and enjoy!
Depending on the pot/Dutch oven you are using, you may or may not need more than 1 ¾ cups of water. When I make this in my Dutch oven, I only need 1 ¾ cups of water. Every appliance and stove top are different, so adjust the water accordingly! Note that water will evaporate as it cooks. The final dish should not be soup-y, but should still have a little bit of sauce.
