If cooked red, the main raw material is red chili, so it feels spicy. While if cooked white, this duck gravy more like opor, pale and not spicy, both equally delicious.
Spices commonly used in Sie Itek dishes are temurui leaves (commonly called curry leaves or salam koja), pandan leaves, coriander, caraway, and others.
