Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). If the dressing is too thick, thin with water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
