Bring a pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Add the udon noodles and cook according to the package directions, 8 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse under cool water.
Meanwhile, heat a large, deep saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil, and once it shimmers add the onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender and the onion has softened yet still has a little crunch, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for another minute, until they are tender.
Add the water, mirin, miso and soy sauce, and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat so the liquid is barely bubbling. Stir in the kale and chickpeas.

Taste, and add more soy sauce, as needed.
