Ingredients

In a bowl or roasting bag, marinate the ribs for a few hours or overnight.
Bring to room temperature while preheating the oven to 180°C.
Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan lined with baking paper and bake for 50 minutes, basting now and again, or until very tender and well-browned.

Soak the noodles in boiling water for 5 minutes then cook in a saucepan of simmering water for a few minutes, or until tender. Drain well then mix with the roasting pan juices.

Serve with the marinated ribs and a good handful of watercress.
