Preheat the wok over medium-high heat until hot.

Add a generous amount of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the hot wok.

Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and chopped shallots.

Add portabella mushrooms to the wok and stir until they are golden brown and tender, being careful not to overcook them.

Remove the mushrooms from the wok and set aside.

Add fresh spinach to the wok; it may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down without needing added water.

Mix together balsamic glaze, soy sauce, and any remaining ingredients, then pour this mixture over the spinach in the wok.

Toss everything together to combine and cook briefly until the spinach is fully wilted.

Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
