Bring a large pot of salted water to boiling. Add in the pasta and cook until just shy of al dente. (The pasta will soak up the dressing and continue to soften.) Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl.

In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, pepper and sesame seeds. Fasten the lid and shake well to combine. Pour over the pasta in the bowl and stir or toss several times to completely combine and let the pasta soak up the dressing.

Gently stir in the cilantro, green onion, mandarin oranges, edamame and almonds. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
