Amino acids are considered as the building blocks of protein's, so amino acid rich food simply means protein rich food. There are 20 classifications for amino acids but nine of them are essential since our body can't make them. Usually in diet important amino acids are Lysine (C6H14N2O2), Leucine (C6H13NO2), Valine (C5H11NO2), Tryptophan (C11H12N2O2), Isoleucine (C6H13NO2) Phenylalanine (C9H11NO2) and Threonine (C4H9NO3).
