Mushrooms sit in a teriyaki-style sauce with noodles in this frozen meal from Co-op's GRO plant-based range. It's built around a savoury soy-based sauce, with mushrooms providing the main bite and noodles carrying the sauce through the bowl. Compared with other Co-op frozen meals, this one sits in the meat-free, plant-based lane rather than the usual ready meal formats. It's designed to be heated from frozen, so the noodles soften as they cook and the sauce loosens around them. The teriyaki brings sweetness from mirin and depth from soy, while the mushrooms add an earthy, meaty chew that works well in a plant-based context. Expect a bowl-style meal that's lighter than a cream-based pasta but still has enough substance to feel like a proper dinner.
