Squab in Oyster Sauce

Squab are uniquely delicious: there is a silkiness to the meat that no other kind of poultry offers. The Cantonese excel in preparations of them, either as in this recipe, a stir-fry, or as in the following one, where they are deep-fried whole.

In this recipe, the oyster sauce gives the squab a rich, glowing color as well as a deep, mellow flavor.
