1 pound thin spaghetti
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Maggi seasoning
½ cup oyster sauce
1½ teaspoon chili oil
Cracked black pepper to taste
2/3 cup cilantro, finely minced for garnish
2/3 cup scallion, finely minced for garnish
2/3 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and coarsely chopped for garnish

Fill a pasta pot or stockpot with salted water and bring to a rolling boil; add pasta. While pasta cooks, heat a large wok over medium heat and add butter and garlic; sauté until golden brown. When the pasta is al dente, drain in a colander and add pasta to the wok with the garlic and butter, tossing carefully to combine. Then add Maggi, oyster sauce, black pepper and chili oil. Toss together so strands are well coated. Add more butter if pasta seems dry. Garnish with minced cilantro, scallions and macadamia nuts, stirring well to combine. Add chicken, beef or tofu if desired.

Note: To toast macadamia nuts, heat a nonstick skillet over a medium flame, add nuts and cook carefully until golden brown, then chop. Toasted nuts can be frozen and used as needed.
