Dry Rub for ribs Sony's Style
My daughter and I love, love, love the Sony's Dry rub smoked Ribs. I found this dry rub mix and modified it a bit so I think its getting to the original pretty close. Try it out and let me know what you
think. I usually make a lot more of the mix, put them in cute little glasses and hand them out to friends or strangers as a little gift.
This is what you need:
- 1/4 cup smoked Paprika
- 1 TBSP Onion Powder
- 2 TSP Oregano
- 2 TSP Garlic Powder
- 1/2 TSP Cumin
- 1/4 TSP Cayenne
- Salt (or smoked Viking Salt) and Pepper
This is how you do it:
Oil the meat good. Rub the mix into the ribs. Let sit for around 15-30 min.. Then put it in the preheated oven, covered with aluminium foil at 400 degrees for around 40-45 min..
Uncover and let sit for another 5-10 min.. If you have a smoker, you can smoke them now. They will be even more authentic Sony's
We love it with Garlic bread and a fresh Tomato Salad
For the Chicken drums just put them in the oven for around 30 min or until done. Use your
favorite BBQ Sauce, heat it up in a pan and add the chicken wings to it.

European Style Cole Slaw
The european Cole Slaw (Krautsalat) is different then to the american version. I am not a big
fan of the heavy american Cole slaw. I like the fresher and lighter version better. Plus, it
can get stored in the fridge for months.
This is what you need:
- 1 green cabbage, cut with the cucumber slicer so you get thin slices
- 1 cup Water
- 6-10 TBSP Vinegar (depends on which one you are using. Apple cider is stronger then white wine)
- Vegetable Bullion
- 4 TBSP Oil
- Salt, Pepper, Sugar
This is how you do it:
Put all the ingredients in a pot and heat it up til cooking. Pour it over the shredded cabbage
and let it sit for a sec.. Then, best with gloves so you don't burn yourself, kneed the cabbage
so it's getting nice and soft.
Now just put a lid on and let it sit and rest.
This cabbage tastes fantastic with Greek dishes, in the Doener Kebab sandwich or with
certain german dishes. (Mostly used cold with a mix of Lettuce greens)

Lo Mein
We like the fried noodles. Also a great possibility to eat fresh vegetables. And a great use of left
over chicken. Since we don't eat spicy at all, this one is great for us.
This is what you need:
- Chicken breast (cooked in salt water) or left over Rotasserie chicken.
- for 2 people: good 2 handful Philippine Noodles (Asia Stores have them)
- Sesame Oil
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- handful of spring onions
- handful of length sliced carrots
- half a leek, sliced as the carrots
- Soy Sauce
- handful of Soy beans
This is how you do it:
If you use the chicken breasts, you cook them in salt water for at least 10 min.. Then slice them in
mouth size pieces.
Soak the Philippine noodles in hot water in a Bowl for app. 10 min. Drain.
In a wok, heat 1 TBSP of Sesame Oil and fry the 2 beaten eggs. Then add the green onions,
Carrots and Leeks and let it fry for a couple of min.. Add the chicken and the noodles and stir
well. Now you add the Soy beans and soy sauce to taste. Round this up with a TBSP of Sesame Oil
and stir well.
We even tried it with sweet and sour chicken once instead of the chicken in the Lo Mein. You can
supstitude the chicken with fish or even completely without any meat.
Guten Appetit
