   Start by boiling the pork belly in water for about 15 minutes to remove impurities. Drain and set aside.

   In a pot, bring the pork broth to a simmer. Add the pork belly, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder. Allow it to simmer for about 60 minutes until the pork is tender.
