Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water; set aside.
Whisk together gochujang, 1/4 cup water, soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice in a bowl. Set sauce aside.
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add kale, 1/4 cup of the scallions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly with tongs, until greens are just wilted and tender, and garlic and onions are glossy and almost translucent, about 2 minutes. Add sauce to greens and cook until slightly thickened and darkened in color, about 1 to 2 more minutes.

Add cooked noodles and cook, until sauce is bubbling where it pools, about 2 to 3 minutes, gradually adding remaining 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if more sauce is needed to coat the noodles.
