Blend all dressing ingredients together until mixture is emulsified, season if desired, and set aside.
Break dried spaghetti in half and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, then rinse with cold water and drain again.
Add a few tablespoons of dressing and toss to coat noodles and prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
Clean napa cabbage, wash, slice into julienne strips, and set aside to add last.
Combine the baked tofu, edamame, bell pepper, green onions, and carrots in a large bowl.
Add the cold noodles and combine everything together with as much dressing as you like.
Add the cilantro, sesame seeds, and napa; combine again. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Sprinkle each portion with Chow Mein noodles before serving. ENJOY!
This salad can be made one day in advance adding the cilantro, napa cabbage, and Chow Mein noodles just before serving.
