By: dolliegyrl
Feb 14, 2003
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!
SERVES 1
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!

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!

We call it Octopus in seaweed, I use green food coloring to resemble seaweed, and cut the hotdog in 8 strips to form tentacles, leaving enough at the top to form a 'head' boil the hot dog just long enough for the tentacles to 'curl' and dab two drops of mustard to form eyes our boys LOVE IT!
