La jolla crab stack

1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the ginger, sugar, lime juice, garlic and water. Refrigerate the dressing overnight.

2. To assemble each of the four crab stacks, tightly layer together in a mold one fourth of each of the pea shoots, tomatoes, cucumbers, mango, onions, avocado and crab. (If you don't have a mold, you can use any hollowed-out aluminum can or circular bottle).

3. Press down on the top layer while slowly removing the mold to reveal the freestanding crab stack. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form a total of four crab stacks. Step-by-step instructions:

4. Place a layer of pea shoots in the mold and then top with a layer of firmly packed tomatoes.

5. Place a layer of sliced cucumbers atop the tomatoes, fanning them out to fill the circular mold.

6. Layer the diced mango atop the cucumbers, then add the red onions.

7. Add a layer of avocado, pushing it firmly into the mold.

8. Add a layer of crab, then while pushing down on the crab with one hand, slowly slide the mold upward to reveal the layered La Jolla Crab Stack. Drizzle with ginger-lime dressing and serve.
