Fill a 6-quart saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add noodles and edamame and cook for 6 minutes. Empty into a colander and rinse well with cold water. Drain and place in a serving bowl. Stir in carrots, scallion, and mint; toss gently and set aside. Grate orange to produce a half tsp. fine zest. Juice orange to produce 3 T. liquid. Place zest and juice in a small bowl and whisk in remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over noodle mixture. Toss gently and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.
