Ingredients

• 2 packets low sodium Maggi noodles
• 1 cup tofu (firm, cubed)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium carrot (julienned)
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce (optional)
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 2 stalks scallions (chopped)
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Cook the low sodium Maggi noodles according to package instructions, omitting any seasoning packets to maintain low sodium levels. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and stir-fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the tofu to the skillet, and add the drained noodles. Gently toss everything together.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce, tomato ketchup, and optional chili sauce if using. Pour this mixture over the noodles and vegetables, tossing to ensure everything is evenly coated and heated through.

Step 7

Add the bean sprouts and chopped scallions, stirring gently to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the sprouts.

Step 8

Serve the Maggi Goreng hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating for a burst of flavor.
