Baked marinated spareribs with noodles

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 2 to 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus marinating time

Cooking Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

2 sheets of lean spareribs (about 500 g each)
125 g pad Thai noodles
Watercress, to garnish

For the marinade, mix:

zest of 1 orange, finely sliced
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lime juice
1 x 2 cm piece fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 fresh red chilli, chopped
3 T soya sauce

Method

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.
