American fried rice (ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน, Khao pad Amerigan, also Nasi Goreng USA) is a Thai/Malay fried rice dish with "American" side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, hot dogs, raisins, ketchup, and croutons. Many Thais erroneously think it comes from America because of the name given to it by their own people, with many Americans completely bewildered as to what it is. 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 proliferation of Thai restaurants, American fried rice is now appearing on Thai restaurant menus in the U.S.
