2. To make the peanut dressing, microwave the peanut butter in a large measuring cup for about 15 seconds to soften. Whisk in the soy sauce, vinegar, canola oil, ginger, honey, hot sauce, and lime juice. Thin with the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is thick but pourable.
3. Thinly slice the scallions, cabbage, and bell pepper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta with the vegetables and toss with the dressing. Top with chopped peanuts and sesame seeds before serving.
