ummm honestly i dont think their is any way to make it taste good plain, the only thing i know is to boil it in water in order to make tea. other then that, your on your own.
try working in a Japanese restaurant, that's where im working now, and i have learned a lot of vegetarian and vegan recipes. the main reason is because of their history and availability of food for them, most of their food is vegetable based, instead of meat biased like western food is.
good...
