1
Cut a very small, very thin slice off the bottom of each Kumato, so they will sit solidly on a plate (less than 1 inch diameter cut), cut off the top, and hollow out each. You can use the scooped out middles in another recipe.

Cut the Asian pear into small slices and add to a quart size bowl. Pour the fresh lemon juice over the pear.
3
Add the flaked chicken.
4
In a measuring cup mix the lime juice, vinegar, fish sauce, ginger, salt, sugar, and honey together.
5
Add next the oils, ginger, optional chili flakes, scallions, and onion.
6
Pour this over the chicken and pear and mix.
7
Add the basil, mint, and almonds.
8
Fill each hollowed Kumato with the basil chicken mix. Serve on a bed of greens. Garnish with a chiffonade of basil.
