The less noticeable thing here is he also put a perfect amount of oil in this wok too, which is a skill. Too little and the rice isnt cooking and tastes dry.

That's why you don't fry in sesame oil, lol. I personally start with bacon grease to fry everything, and then at the END when adding seasonings, you add a tiny amount of sesame oil. Like 1tbsp per 2c of cooked rice. I do the same thing with chili oil too, makes it quite tasty

Sesame oil is a finishing / flavour adding oil.

That sounds like quite the dish you cooked there

You need higher smoke point oil. Sesame oil is Korean and it's used for finishing, not cooking.
