Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the Maggie noodles according to package instructions without adding the seasoning packets. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots, stirring constantly until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes.
Add the optional sliced red chili and stir for an additional minute to release its flavor.
Push the aromatics to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs lightly until they are just set, then combine them with the cooked aromatics.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot, stir-frying for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Toss in the drained noodles, pouring the prepared sauce over them. Stir everything together to ensure that the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Add the chopped green onions and bean sprouts, stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the Maggie Goreng hot, garnished with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
