Wash the meat, dab dry and rub with salt and pepper. Spread the fat in flakes on the meat and place in a roasting pan. Roast in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C / gas: level 2) for approx. 2 hours. Peel onions, cut in half and add 200 ml broth after approx. 30 minutes for frying. Meanwhile cook the noodles in plenty of boiling salted water for about 12 minutes.
Pour onto a sieve, rinse briefly under cold water and drain. Also drain the apricots. Clean and wash spring onions and cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel garlic and press it through a garlic press. Warm up the apricot jam. Brush the roast about 20 minutes before the end of the frying time and sprinkle with green pepper. Increase the oven temperature (electric oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) and finish roasting. Keep the roast warm and measure 1/8 litre of stock. Caramelise the sugar in a pan and add the stock, vinegar and the remaining hot stock. Add noodles, spring onions and garlic and simmer covered for about 5 minutes.
