Here, 에 marks the place/surface where the action is done: in/on the frying pan.

So:

• 프라이팬에 = in the frying pan / into the frying pan

In cooking Korean, 에 is very common for the container, pan, bowl, or pot where you put something.

Examples:

• 냄비에 물을 넣어요. = Put water in the pot.
• 그릇에 담아요. = Put it in a bowl.

In cooking, 두르다 means to drizzle, to coat, or to add a thin layer of something, especially oil.

So 기름을 조금 두르고 means something like:

• add a little oil
• coat the pan with a little oil
• drizzle in a little oil

This is a very common cooking verb. It does not literally mean just put in a general sense; it suggests spreading or laying down a thin amount.

Because there are really two actions:

1. 기름을 조금 두르고 = add/coating with a little oil
2. 양파를 볶아요 = stir-fry the onions

Each verb has its own object:

• 두르다 → 기름을
• 볶다 → 양파를

So this is normal Korean grammar. The sentence is basically:

• Put a little oil in the frying pan and stir-fry the onions.

-고 connects verbs. It often means and, and then, or after doing.

So:

• 두르고 볶아요 = add/coating with oil and stir-fry

In this sentence, it shows the actions happen in sequence:

1. oil the pan a little
2. stir-fry the onions

It is one of the most common verb connectors in Korean.

In recipes and instructions, Korean often uses the polite -아요/어요 style, even though the meaning is instructional.

So 볶아요 literally looks like a present-tense statement, but in a recipe context it naturally means:

• stir-fry the onions
• then stir-fry the onions

This is very common in recipe writing and cooking videos. It sounds natural and gentle.

Compare:

• 볶아요 = recipe/instruction style, polite and common
• 볶으세요 = more directly please stir-fry
• 볶아라 = direct command, much harsher / not recipe style

조금 means a little. Here it modifies the action of adding oil, so it tells you the amount of oil to use.

• 기름을 조금 두르고 = add a little oil

In English, we often say a little oil, where a little directly modifies the noun. In Korean, 조금 often behaves more like an adverb and sits near the verb.

So Korean naturally says something like:

• oil-OBJ a little add/coating

You may also hear similar patterns like:

• 물을 조금 넣어요. = add a little water
• 소금을 조금 뿌려요. = sprinkle a little salt

The dictionary form is 두르다.

In 두르고, the verb is connected with -고, so it is:

• 두르다 → 두르고

But when 두르다 is conjugated with -어요, it becomes:

• 두르다 → 둘러요

That is because 두르다 follows the 르 irregular pattern when a vowel-initial ending is added.

So:

• 두르고 = correct with -고
• 둘러요 = correct with -어요

Both come from 두르다.

Yes, the subject is omitted, and that is very normal in Korean.

In a recipe, the subject is understood as:

• you
• or more generally the cook

Korean often leaves out subjects when they are obvious from context.

So instead of saying:

• 당신은 프라이팬에 기름을 조금 두르고 양파를 볶아요.

Korean naturally just says:

• 프라이팬에 기름을 조금 두르고 양파를 볶아요.

This sounds much more natural.

볶다 usually means to stir-fry, to sauté, or to fry while moving the ingredients around.

So in this sentence, 양파를 볶아요 suggests cooking the onions in a pan with a little oil, usually while stirring.

It is often closer to:

• sauté the onions
• stir-fry the onions

than to deep-frying.

Some useful comparisons:

• 볶다 = stir-fry / sauté
• 튀기다 = deep-fry
• 굽다 = grill / roast / pan-cook without the same stir-fry nuance

프라이팬 is a loanword from English frying pan.

It is written in Korean sounds:

• 프라이팬

This is a very common everyday word in Korean. You may also hear:

• 팬 = pan

So in casual speech, some people might say:

• 팬에 기름을 두르고...

But 프라이팬에 is perfectly standard and clear.
