Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they are soft and pliable. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sliced shallots. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, sliced green beans, shredded cabbage, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the drained vermicelli noodles to the pan along with the soy sauce and sweet soy sauce (kecap manis). Toss everything together to ensure the noodles are well coated in the sauce.
Return the fried tofu to the pan and add the bean sprouts. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Season the noodle mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish the dish with sliced green onions.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
