Heat oil in a frypan over medium/high heat. Place in the tofu and cook for 5 minutes each side until golden, then transfer to a paper towel to remove excess oil. Slice into strips.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together. Add the kale to a bowl and pour over the dressing. With clean hands, massage the kale till tender, then add the cucumber and avocado and toss.
