American fried rice

American fried rice (ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน, Khao pad Amerigan, also Nasi Goreng John American) 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. Since it's a Thai creation in Vietnam war era for USMC and USAF officers in Thailand, it previously could only be found in Thailand and not Thai restaurants in the West. With the recent proliferation of Thai restaurants, American fried rice is now appearing on Thai restaurant menus in the U.S. (see Fried Rice Restaurant link below).
In Malaysia, their counterpart of American fried rice, Nasi Goreng John American or USA fried rice, features roughly the same ingredients such as chicken ham, chicken hot dogs (never with pork as its Muslim) and often with choice of ketchup or chili sauce.

Controversy
Recently a more diverse selection of ingredients have appeared on select restaurant menus throughout Thailand's metropolitan area so as to more accurately reflect the American palate. Some of these additions include ranch dressing, cheetos, fried green tomatoes, baked beans, black eyed peas, banana chips, turkey breast, coleslaw, and even Almond Joy or Mounds bars to eat with or on the side (although this is most likely due to Thailand's affinity for the two coconut bars more than the American heritage associated with them). This culinary expansion has led to an intense and sometimes vociferous backlash by so-called American Fried Rice 'traditionalists' who claim that the added ingredients cheapen and ruin the tried-and-true flavors of the original six (baked beans are often included in this list as well), and many top Thai restaurants such as the Bed Supperclub and Celadon have kept and staunchly defended their minimalist American Fried Rice selections to the press, who has thus far reported on the ongoing battle with amused curiosity[citation needed].
Restaurants that include this expanded selection include the renowned Baan Klang Nam and C'yan, although you must ask for the extra ingredient list while dining at the latter.

Thai fried rice

Thai fried rice (Thai: ข้าวผัด IPA: Khao Pad or Khao Phad) is a variety of Fried rice that is prepared in the style of central Thai cuisine. In Thai khao is rice) + pad (of or relating to being stir-fried). One of the ways the dish differs from Chinese fried rice is that it is prepared with Thai Jasmine rice instead of regular long-grain rice. It normally contains a meat (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, and crab are all common), egg, onions, and tomatoes. Green onions, coriander, and fried garlic are then mixed in. However, each individual place varies as it is a ubiquitous dish. Then seasonings are poured in, including soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and the ubiquitous nam pla (fish sauce). These are stirred in, and then the dish is plated and served with accompaniments like cucumber slices, tomato slices, lime and sprigs of green onion.
Other dishes include Coconut Fried Rice (ข้าวผัดมะพร้าว Khao Pad Maprao), and Pineapple Fried Rice (ข้าวผัดสับปะรด Khao Pad Saparod). Khao Op Saparod is a fancier fried rice pineapple dish with raisins and nuts and almost always comes served inside a cutout pineapple.
