1
Heat oil in a very large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
2
Stir in onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
3
Add carrots and sauté for 4–5 minutes so they begin to soften.
4
Stir in zucchini, soy sauce, oyster sauce or miso, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and broth.
5
Cook uncovered for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is just tender but not soggy.
6
Let excess liquid cook off for another 2–3 minutes until glossy and lightly saucy.
7
Top with scallions and sesame seeds and serve.
