No. He has a Michelin starred son. So not the end of the family line. You made me look up his Wikipedia entry.

His father was apparently the guy who popularized mapo tofu in Japan. The Japanese version, mabodofu, is one of my favorite foods.

Got a recipe link for your favorite mapodofu?

I never measure anything, but I use:

either beef or beef mixed with pork, onions, sometimes green onions, ginger, garlic, all sauteed in sesame oil.

Then add: water, a little sake and soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, doubanjiang, tianmianjiang, tofu obviously, maybe some chili oil. Next time I'm going to try using Korean chili paste. You can add starch, too.
