These little sausages are a childhood favourite for a lot of asian kids & no they are not made from octopus they are cut like little octopus tentacles just to make them look cute. 😊
Adding a soft boiled egg (boiled for 5min) is a game changer. In other recipes they add a raw egg or a sunny side up. So do whatever you feel like.
I love how easy and fulfilling this is and done within 10minutes.
When you have kids these will definitely be popular and they will ask for more. (that’s what I did when i was young)
Did you really think it was made from octopus?
Tako (octopus) sausages

Ingredients
- 250 gr Cooked rice
- 4 Japanese sausages (you can use any sausages but I like the Japanese one because of their size and flavour)
- 1 large egg
- 1 green onion
- sesame seeds
- Soy Sauce
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
-  Cut your sausages half way through on the side.- Rotate them 90 degrees and slice again.- Now your sausages have 4 legs. 
Note: If you really want to make them look like octopus tentacles you can slice between the slits and you end up with 8 legs. But I like the how they look with just 4 legs.
Steps
- 1. To a medium hot sauté pan, add a little bit of vegetable oil.
- 2. When hot add your sausages and rol them in the pan for 2-3 minutes. (Don’t pick them up)
- 3. When the sausages are browned and look like little dancing octopuses, remove them.
- 4. Add rice to a bowl together with your soft boiled egg and the octopus sausages.
- 5. Finish off with your toppings of choice like; green onions, sesame seeds and soy sauce and enjoy!
