Start by preparing the chicken breast: cut it into thin strips for quick cooking.
Dice the firm tofu into small cubes.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Peel the carrot, then julienne it into thin strips.
In a small bowl, crack and beat the eggs, set aside.
Boil the Mi Goreng noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving any seasoning packets.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced tofu and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of cooking oil. Stir-fry the chicken strips until they are cooked through and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil into the pan. Add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add green beans and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs. Allow them to set slightly, then scramble them gently into pieces.
Add the cooked noodles, tofu, and chicken back into the pan.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sambal oelek. Stir everything together to combine well, heating through.
Add the bean sprouts and give it a final stir to mix everything well.
Transfer the Mi Goreng to serving plates. Garnish with sliced spring onions and a wedge of lime for each plate.
Serve immediately, squeezing the lime over the noodles for a fresh zesty finish.
