Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Crumble the ramen noodles onto a baking sheet and spread them in a single layer along with the almonds. Bake for 5 minutes, remove from the oven, add the sesame seeds, and toss, then bake for 1 to 3 additional minutes until fragrant and golden. Watch closely so that the mixture does not burn. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, briskly stir together all of the dressing ingredients: rice vinegar, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. (Alternatively, you can shake them together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.)
- In a serving bowl, toss together the coleslaw, edamame, carrots, scallions, and toasted ramen and almonds. Drizzle the dressing over the top, then toss again to combine. Sprinkle the oranges over the top, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ramen noodles: Fresh ramen noodles have a better texture and flavor than dried noodles. If you can't find fresh ramen noodles, you can use dried noodles, but be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
- Rinse the noodles thoroughly: Rinsing the noodles removes the excess starch and helps to prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions: Overcooked noodles will be mushy, so be careful not to overcook them.
- Prepare the vegetables in advance: This will save you time when you're assembling the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator.
- Garnish the salad with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for ramen noodle salad include green onions, sesame seeds, and peanuts.
