I make this for my picky boys! It costs roughly $1 to make if that so is very cheap to keep on hand! This is SO easy your kids can help make their own lunch/snack!
Ingredients:
1
hot dog
, cooked
1 (3 ounce) package
Top Ramen noodles
(cooked and drained no sauce added)
food coloring
(your choice)
mustard or
ketchup
Directions:
1
After draining Top Ramen noodles let kid/s pick out food color/colors.
2
If you want the octopus to look like its really on the sea use blue only.
3
Put a few drops on the noodles.
4
Toss with forks until coated evenly.
5
This does not color them completely-- more like a sprinkling/marbling effect.
6
Make an X cut (crisscross) from top of wiener to the middle.
7
Arrange on top of noodles to make an octopus with 4 legs.
8
Make a smile and 2 eyes with ketchup or mustard and you're set!
Ratings & Reviews:
My kids love Octopus weiners! I usually cut the bottom half of the weiner into eight "legs" before I boil them and the "legs" curl up while cooking! The blue noodles were a great idea as I usually serve my octopus weiners with the Catelli brand of sea shaped pasta, which can get quite expensive. Thanks for this fun meal idea!
