So: I finally did end up making this recipe and it went completely without a hitch (as was to be expected as per your step-by-step instructions). I’m sad to say that the end product, although certainly tasty, didn’t have the wowing effect I’d hoped for. This may have been due to a) exaggerated expectations and b) the fact that my horseradish wasn’t the freshest (I had preserved it a while ago). If I make this again I’ll certainly use fresh or wasabi.
Thank you again for your help and your great recipes!

Hi Boris, sorry about that; I hate it when I'm imprecise like that! A package of tempeh is 8 ounces, or 226 grams. So I'd use half or a little more of your 400g for the horseradish dish, and the rest of it for tempeh reubens! (Probably my favorite use of tempeh.)

So, I’m finally going to make this dish – probably tomorrow – because I recently found out that one of the local Asian supermarkets occasionally stocks tempeh. And that it tastes awesome! The only question that now remains between me and a delicious meal is: How much is a “package” of tempeh. In the present case, this would be 400g. Really difficult to make out from the pictures how much you’re using – I’d guess less. Help, please?
Thanks!

Hi Boris! Seitan would probably work great in this recipe. Tofu might be a little too fragile for it, unless you used baked tofu.
