Last year I promised to bring you recipes from your favorite bands. For the first installment, I am proud to present a super recipe from a supergroup! Current and former members of Guided By Voices, Luna, Joan as Police Woman, Dead Air and The Dambuilders came together to form Gramercy Arms. If their collective creative resume wasn’t impressive enough, they can also apparently create in the kitchen.
With Gramercy Arms’ restaurant experience, they were the perfect band to kick off this new feature:
If the above clip is any indication, it’s not hard for bands to fall victim to some pretty gross food. Luckily Gramercy Arms frontman Dave Derby provided a recipe for bok choy with ginger and soy sauce, which is not only healthy but very easy to prepare. Derby describes it as follows:
Here’s a very simple recipe for bok choy, which is fast and goes with just about anything. Though mirin is good, the combination of soy sauce and good balsamic is a pretty interesting tangy-salty combination.
Bok Choy with Ginger and Soy Sauce
Sauce (to use with 4 baby bok choy): 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup mirin or balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
Rinse bok choy. Steam until just tender (3-5 minutes) and add sauce.
