Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the Maggi instant noodles as per the package instructions, but avoid overcooking. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic, sliced red chili, and sliced onion to the pan. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Push the aromatics to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty space. Allow the eggs to cook for 1 minute, then scramble them into large chunks.
Add the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and tomato ketchup to the pan. Stir well to combine, creating a flavorful sauce.
Toss in the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
If using, add the cooked chicken or shrimp and stir to heat through.
Add the cooked Maggi noodles to the pan and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with lime wedges for squeezing on top.
