Boil the instant Maggie noodles according to the package instructions until slightly undercooked. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and red chili to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
Add the cubed tofu to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Add the julienned carrot and shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the drained noodles to the pan, along with the soy sauce and kecap manis. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles and vegetables are well-coated with the sauce.
Continue to stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes until the noodles are cooked through and everything is heated evenly.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro.
Serve the Dairy-Free Maggie Goreng hot, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles just before eating.
