Begin by boiling a pot of water and cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, finely chop the garlic, and slice the onion. Julienne the carrot and cabbage, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
In a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped garlic and sliced onion, stir-frying until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chicken strips to the pan and stir-fry until they are almost cooked through. Then, add the shrimp and continue to stir-fry until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Push the chicken and shrimp to one side of the pan. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked.
Add the carrot, cabbage, and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan, followed by soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Sprinkle the ground white pepper, salt, and sugar over the noodles. Mix everything well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauces.
Add the bean sprouts and chopped scallions to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are just cooked through.
Transfer the Bami Goreng to a serving dish and enjoy hot. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped scallions or fried shallots for extra flavor.
