You could Marinate it with Soy sauce and Pan fry it Or Barbque Sauce and Bake it !. It usually needs to marinate ( play with different marinades) about an hour to absorb what ever flavor you want it to have!. It has little flavor on it's own !.

You can use it in a stir fry!.

You can also cube it and add it to soups

You can Blend it to add to cream soups

You can blend it and add to cakes

Not sure exactly what you want to use it for , but hope this helped
