Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the catfish pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the catfish from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sautΓ© for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked catfish to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the catfish and vegetables.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil for added flavor. Sprinkle with chopped green onions as a garnish.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
