Prepare the ingredients: Cut the tofu into small cubes, mince the garlic, chop the shallots, and prepare all the vegetables as listed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and sliced red chili (if using) until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes.
Add the julienned carrots, chopped green beans, and frozen peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix with the vegetables.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the wok. Break up any clumps of rice with a spatula as you stir-fry it with the vegetables.
Pour in the kecap manis and soy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly so the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
Return the fried tofu cubes to the wok and mix gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the wok from the heat.
Serve the Nasi Goreng on plates. Garnish with chopped spring onions and fried shallots. Add a lime wedge on each plate for squeezing over the rice, and serve with optional cucumber slices on the side for freshness.
