Rinse the dry brown lentils under cold water and place them in a small pot with 1 cup of water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender.
While lentils cook, pat the raw firm tofu dry with a paper towel and cut into 0.5-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides.
Add the raw chopped kale to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of tofu cooking, tossing until just wilted and bright green.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create a thick dressing.
Drain any excess water from the cooked lentils and add them to the skillet with the tofu and kale.
Remove from heat, drizzle with the dressing, and sprinkle with hemp seeds before serving warm.
