Sop Buntut, Sup Buntut, Indonesian Oxtail Soup
Sop Buntut, Sup Buntut, Indonesian Oxtail Soup. These oxtail soup stew is a very popular dish in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. Oxtail slices are boiled till the meat nearly fall off from the bones with clove and nutmeg, not common spice in Pinoy cooking. Margarine is used to sauté the aromatic ingredients which gives a yellowish tint to the broth, The combination of margarine, clove and nutmeg gives a distinct aroma and flavour to this soup stew. The kamote or sweet potato makes the dish sweetish and adds more texture to the already gelatinous broth. It is garnished with diced tomato, chopped spring onion and fried garlic. I really miss this dish it was one of my favorite Indonesian or Malaysian food during my many years of working in Batam and Singapore. Here is my version, I have reduced the amount of spices and tweaked out some exotic ingredients to make it more of a Pinoy version.
