  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using chicken breasts, pat dry, and on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using filets mignon, pat dry and cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up until burger reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry and cook until shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. Add to bibimbap as desired.

  1. 1

    Cook the Butternut Squash

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add butternut squash, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Cover and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned, 8-12 minutes.

    If pan is dry, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

    While butternut squash cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Heat Quinoa

    Coarsely chop kale.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Drain quinoa, if necessary. In a microwave-safe bowl, add quinoa and half the soy sauce (reserve remaining for vegetables). Cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave covered until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Add the Kale

    After 8-12 minutes, add kale, Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (to taste), white portions of green onions, and remaining soy sauce to hot pan with butternut squash. Stir occasionally until kale wilts, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4
