Ditch the seasoning packets, stir fry with garlic, vegies and spices =)

In this case I'd opt for making a salad :-)

Maybe slice it into tube shaped morsels and fry them for taste.

Time to bust out that jar of msg then, or just eat it with seaweed instead of lettuce or something.

You can always use the inedible parts to make vegetable stock

This is awesome, adding herbs/spices would be what makes me use it.

I put it in some chicken broth, it's a lot more tolerable that way.
