The soup you are talking about sounds alot to me like pho, the vietnamese soup filled with noodles and different meats which you garnish with lime, chilis, sprouts, and sauces. I do a take off on pho for lunch making the soup stock from chicken instead of beef. I provide bowls filled with either rice or wheat noodles that the girls can garnish as they choose using chicken, tofu, basil, mint, cilantro, carrot, mushroom, lime, sprouts before covering with the fragrant stock. It goes over very well.
I have also done a Vietnamese Table Salad. Butter lettuce leaves are the wrapper and I provide Lemongrass grilled chicken, rice vermicelli, cucumber, carrots, fresh pineapple, mint, cilantro, basil and a fish sauce based dipping sauce. They load the ingredients of their choice into the lettuce and roll it up to eat. I serve it with fried rice.
