- American fried rice
-
American fried rice (Thai: ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน, RTGS: khao phat amerikan, IPA: [kʰâːw pʰàt ʔameːrikan]; Malay: Nasi Goreng USA) is a Thai fried rice dish with "American" side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, hot dogs, raisins, ketchup, and croutons. Other ingredients like pineapple are optional. Because it was invented during the Vietnam War era to serve to United States Marine Corps and United States Air Force personnel stationed in Thailand, it is generally not found in Thai restaurants outside Thailand. With the recent[when?] proliferation of Thai restaurants, American fried rice is now appearing on Thai restaurant menus in the United States. The name comes from the fact that most of the ingredients are American or at least Western in origin.
The Malaysian equivalent of American fried rice, called Nasi Goreng USA, is made with many of the same ingredients.[1]
