Nautical-Themed Bento Meal

Ingredients 0/5

Step 1

Slic a hot dog in half. Take one half and make a cut from the bottom up, stopping about an inch from the top. Then turn it a quarter turn and make the same cut on the other side. To create the octopus legs, cut each of the four sections halfway down the middle, which will give you eight "legs."

Step 2

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and drop in the hot dog octopus pieces. Let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they’re warmed through, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil again. Add the ramen noodles and some cauliflower florets, cooking until both are tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the seasoning packet until it’s fully dissolved. Take the pot off the heat and toss in some fresh spinach, letting it sit for a few minutes to wilt.

Step 4

Finally, put the ramen and veggies in your bento box alongside the octopus hot dogs. Enjoy your fun and tasty meal!
