If you’ve been wanting to try Korean sundubu-jjigae at home but felt intimidated by making it from scratch, Costco has a solution that’ll get you there in minutes. The Jayone Korean Spicy Soon Tofu Soup is showing up in the refrigerated section, and it’s a surprisingly authentic shortcut for this beloved Korean comfort food.
This kit comes with everything you need – including the silky soft tofu – you get the spicy soup base, seasoning packet, and ingredients to create that restaurant-quality bubbling stew. The 14.1-ounce package is designed to serve one hungry person or work as a side dish for two, making it perfect for quick lunches or easy dinners.
The flavor profile leans authentically spicy with that signature Korean heat from gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), though you can adjust the intensity by using less of the seasoning packet if you’re heat-sensitive. The real value here is the convenience – you’re getting a legitimate Korean soup experience without hunting down specialty ingredients at multiple stores.
