American fried rice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American fried rice (
Thai:
ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน,
RTGS:
khao phat amerikan,
IPA: [kʰâːw pʰàt ʔameːrikan];
Malay:
Nasi Goreng USA) is a Thai/Malay 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.
