Sop Buntot (ndonesian Oxtail Soup)
  • 4 shallots, peeled and halved
  • 1 large onion, quartered, divided
  • 1 (2 inch) piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced across the grain
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 6 whole cloves (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 pounds meaty oxtail pieces, at room temperature
  • 2 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • water to cover
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 waxy potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
  • 3 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 3 ripe roma tomatoes, sliced horizontally into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1 (2.8 ounce) can French-fried onions


  1. Combine shallots, 2 onion quarters, ginger, and garlic in a food processor; pulse into a paste.
  2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shallot paste and fry until fragrant and slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add oxtails; stir until completely covered with spices and paste and browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir remaining onion quarters, 2 carrots, and celery into the pot. Pour in enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until oxtail is tender, about 5 hours.
  4. Stir salt, black pepper, potatoes, and 3 carrots into the pot. Increase heat and simmer soup until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Add sugar and fish sauce; stir well to combine.
  5. Ladle soup into large serving bowls and top with tomato wedges and French-fried onions.
