Ah, yeah the after taste sucks.

Buy the firm style and freeze it, thaw it and then press as much water out as you can. I found the spring presses useless, so I just hold it between my palms and squish it.

Cut it up. Marinade in a mixture of stuff…like a small bit of soy sauce and a bunch of spices etc. Dab cubes or slabs into a mix of cornstarch and spices like garlic powder, pepper, paprika, salt, cumin,etc, and fry it.

It gets Crispy on the outside frombthe corn starch and has flavour inside.
