bibimbabeul mandeulgi jeone yangnyeomirang chamgireumeul meonjeo junbihae dwo.

Because 전에 means before, and in Korean, when a verb comes before 전에, the verb usually has to be turned into a noun-like form with -기.

• 만들다 = to make
• 만들기 = making
• 만들기 전에 = before making

So:

• 비빔밥을 만들기 전에 = before making bibimbap

You can think of -기 전에 as a very common pattern meaning before doing something.

Examples:

• 먹기 전에 = before eating
• 자기 전에 = before sleeping
• 출발하기 전에 = before departing

비빔밥을 is 비빔밥 + 을.

• 비빔밥 = bibimbap
• 을 = object particle

The particle 을/를 marks the direct object of the verb. Here, the verb is 만들기/만들다 (to make), so 비빔밥 is the thing being made.

• 비빔밥을 만들다 = to make bibimbap

Use:

• 을 after a noun ending in a consonant
• 를 after a noun ending in a vowel

Since 비빔밥 ends in ㅂ, it takes 을.

양념이랑 참기름 means seasoning and sesame oil.

• 양념 = seasoning, sauce, condiment
• 참기름 = sesame oil
• 이랑 = and / with

In this sentence, 이랑 connects two nouns in a casual, spoken way.

So:

• 양념이랑 참기름 = seasoning and sesame oil

Common ways to say and between nouns in Korean:

• 이랑/랑 → casual
• 하고 → also common and conversational
• 과/와 → more formal/written

Examples:

• 친구랑 = with my friend / and my friend
• 빵하고 우유 = bread and milk
• 책과 공책 = book and notebook

Here, 이랑 makes the sentence sound natural and conversational.

Because 양념이랑 참기름 works as one combined noun phrase: seasoning and sesame oil. The object particle goes at the end of the whole phrase.

So:

• 양념이랑 참기름을 준비해 둬 = prepare the seasoning and sesame oil in advance

This is very normal in Korean.

Compare:

• 사과랑 바나나를 먹었어 = I ate apples and bananas
• 연필이랑 지우개를 샀어 = I bought a pencil and an eraser

You usually do not need to mark both nouns separately.

먼저 means first or beforehand.

In this sentence, it shows the order of actions:

1. Prepare the seasoning and sesame oil first
2. Then make the bibimbap

So 먼저 adds the idea of do this first.

Examples:

• 먼저 앉으세요. = Please sit down first.
• 숙제를 먼저 하고 놀아. = Do your homework first and then play.

In this sentence, 먼저 emphasizes that the preparation should happen before the cooking starts.

Not exactly. 준비해 둬 means more like:

• prepare it in advance
• get it ready beforehand
• have it ready

This comes from:

• 준비하다 = to prepare
• 준비해 두다 = to prepare and leave it ready for later

The grammar -아/어 두다 is very important. It means you do something now so that it stays done and is ready when needed later.

So:

• 준비해 둬 = prepare it and leave it ready

Examples:

• 문을 열어 둬. = Leave the door open.
• 미리 써 둬. = Write it in advance.
• 음식을 만들어 둬. = Cook the food ahead of time.

So the sentence is not just about preparing, but about preparing ahead of time for the later action of making bibimbap.

둬 is a contracted spoken form.

The full form is:

• 두어 → often contracted to 둬

So:

• 준비해 두어 → 준비해 둬

This contraction is very common in everyday Korean.

You may also see:

• 놔 from 놓아
• 줘 from 주어

In this sentence, 준비해 둬 sounds natural and conversational.

Yes. It is a casual imperative, meaning something like:

• Prepare it beforehand
• Get it ready in advance

Because it ends in -둬, it sounds like something said to a friend, younger person, family member, or someone you speak casually with.

Compare different levels:

• 준비해 둬. = casual
• 준비해 둬요. = polite casual
• 준비해 두세요. = polite / more standard request
• 준비해 두십시오. = very formal

So this sentence has a friendly, informal tone.

양념 is a broad word. It can mean:

• seasoning
• sauce
• marinade
• flavored seasoning mixture

In food-related sentences, it often refers to a prepared seasoning mix rather than just dry spices. In the context of bibimbap, it probably means the sauce or seasoning mixture you’ll use for the dish.

So the exact English translation can vary depending on context:

• seasoning
• sauce
• seasoning mix

Korean often leaves this a little broader than English.

Yes. 참기름 is sesame oil.

It is a very common ingredient in Korean cooking, and it often appears in Korean recipes. In this sentence, it is one of the things to prepare before making bibimbap.

A useful note:

• 참기름 = sesame oil
• 들기름 = perilla oil

Learners sometimes confuse these, but they are different oils with different flavors.

Yes, that is a very natural translation.

A very literal breakdown would be:

• 비빔밥을 만들기 전에 = before making bibimbap
• 양념이랑 참기름을 = the seasoning and sesame oil
• 먼저 = first
• 준비해 둬 = prepare in advance / get ready beforehand

Natural English versions could be:

• Before making bibimbap, get the seasoning and sesame oil ready first.
• Get the seasoning and sesame oil ready beforehand before you make bibimbap.
• Prepare the seasoning and sesame oil first before making bibimbap.

The key nuance is that the items should be ready ahead of time.
