ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน or American fried rice is a name of Thai fried rice that cooked with American ingredients like fried chicken, ham, sausage, raisins, ketchup, and sometimes pineapple.
It might sound a bit weird that we named it after other country's name. But this is only because it was firstly created during the Vietnam War; to serve United States Army who, at that time, based in Thailand.
Since then, Thai people called it as American fried rice and nowadays It has now even be appeared on Thai restaurant's menu in the United States. XD
