Sop buntut

Sop buntut is a traditional soup originating from Indonesia. The soup is made with oxtail, oil, carrots, potatoes, and a huge number of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, white pepper, shallots, garlic, ginger, and onions. The combination is simmered for a few hours until the oxtails are fully cooked and have a tender consistency.

The spice paste is sautéed and it's added to the pot with carrots and potatoes, and the soup is simmered for a bit more until the vegetables are tender. Sop buntut is usually served with slices of scallions and tomatoes, and it's garnished with fried shallots.
