as a Romanian watching this, I got to say that I am pretty sure that all Romanians watching this video have had a biig smile on their faces for 20 minutes! I sure did! Happy to see mici are conquering the world! Looking forward to seeing you back in Romania!
Nicely done👍 good job ! Mici is definitely a way to go at any kind of barbeque they want to throw at or any grill party, the only thing is that when are freezed before cooking the meat will shrink and they need fiddling turning to all sides to be well cooked but once done they are finished they are so rewarding in taste just with bred, mustard and pickles ! ;0) 👌😋
Omg!!! You make me cry…they look insane!! For sure I’ll try it as well…it’s been more than 5 years since the last time I ate mici…as a Romanian that lives in Canada I really appreciate this video…😍
@@silviag1547 I live in Montreal as well but I can't find them anywhere on UberEats to order at home. All restaurants are mostly greek, italian and asian.
Don't use translated version...it sounds strange...actually, personally, i have no ideea if their name it actually has a conection with the romanian word for "small" or it is a simple coincidence. Like, the most sadic joke of my childhood " prăjitură" which means "fried" but also "cookye" ...my grandpa used this trick with me, just imaginate me when i thought i was asked if i want a cookie and i got some sort of fat-meat dish...not fun 🤣😅
Oh yeah, and the bagged milk reminds me of my childhood. Up until about 15 years ago, milk was also bagged in Romania. Every kid did this: when our mothers sent us to the corner shop to get a bag of milk, we would get back home with a corner bitten off, and half a bag of milk =))))))
Cred ca la fel se intampla si cu franzela luata de la alimentara...era asa de gustoasa si de proaspata ...incat pana acasa muscam din coltul painii....era cea mai buna bucatica😋😋😋😋😋
I have to say, as a Romanian who's not really into mici, that you did a great job preparing the meat. A mention is that you really have to cook'em on a charcoal grill, so that they take that smell of smoke. Glad your parents liked them, my mom is the biggest fan of mici and beer :) Also, it is true, they... shrink :P
Mici is easy but somewhat specific, whereas with ciorba you can't really go wrong. It's like romanian pizza, we just put whatever vegetables and meat we want in it. Go for it, Ivana!
As a tip from a romanian "exiled" in america you should use a Plate on the gas grill when you are roasting mici because you need intense heat to build up the crust to maintain the moisture inside the mici also in the same note if you are buying the already minced meat always choose the hight fat 15% one. Pofta Buna and thanks a lot for your content :)
Salut from Romania! God bless your beautiful family, Ivana, your gourgeous mom, and your father! I can't wait to watch your romanian adventures again. maybe we'll meet if you'll be around Cluj! great MICI, good chef Ivana
Wow! Just Wow! I am so impressed but actually I'm more proud of you both! Congratulations Ivana for your first mici! A lot of Romanian people don't get it like this after a few times, but you succeded the first time! You don't realize, but its amazing, you deserve an award. Also big respect for following the recipe precisely; some people, out of commodity skip the beef stock, which is very important for the mici, but you didn't, so congrats again. Steve, you are awesome, you always understand the important stuff in things in general, and as well now you did understand the proper way of constantly turning the mici and using a low fire! WOW guys! I can't wait for you to be back in Romania; I'll be waiting for you in Timisoara! I hope we get the chance to meet. Take care! See you soon :D
A special thank you to Ivana and Steve for giving my mici recipe a try. You did a great job there, absolutely fabulous !!! It does appear that your teaspoon is bigger than the one here in the UK so I will need to make a note of that. Thank you again! I am impressed with how passionate you are about Romania and its food (there is a ciorba de burta -tripe soup recipe on my website too as well as sarmale which I hope you guys will give a try ;-) ) Ivana, you are an excellent cook! Impressive! Well done! Thank you again, guys!! xoxo Ramona ( Ramona's Cuisine) P.S. If you travel to London UK please DO let me know, mici will be on the table ;-) Note: the grill has to be at a higher temperature - mici will be on the dry side otherwise and lose the juiciness ;-))
Just some little tips for the next time you cook "mici",use fresh garlic in the recipe,less baking soda or it will be hard to digest,before to put them on the grill you can rub them with a bit of vegetable oil.and when they are cooking pour beer over them and i will sugest you to use an charcoal grill or natural coal resulted from burning wood,the flavour is a lot diferent than the gas grill ,and the last tip as an romanian bbq maker,we don't close the lid of the bbq,we kinda sear the mici over high heat and quickly turn then upside down regular so they don't burn or taste burned,greeting from Romania good luck,happy holidays wish you all the best
Yay! My favorite traveling couple is back with another Romanian content! (Writing this before actually watching.) Post viewing edit: Yes, I remember the bags of milk from my 6 months stay in Canada. On another note, I have to take you guys out for the best mici in Bucharest when you'll be back.
Another "secret" ingredient to make perfect MICI is to cook them on COAL grill instead of gas grill. Why?? The coal also gives its own flavor to the meat, its called smoked flavor. On a gas grill you are missing out on that. It may seem like nothing but trust me, it makes a huge difference.
Some secrets how to prepare mici:use some home made mince meats..need more fat... Usually beef or sheep fat... 2 days stage preparation to let the meat infuse whit spices.... And they need a lot of mixing to make the meat stay together and not come apart on the grill
Ivana , the mici are on the complicated dishes side in Romanian cuisine for me personally, and I never had the courage to try to make them but seeing you doing it I think I will try make them from the scratch myself. They look delicious and mouth watering. Looking forward to see you in Romania xo xo xo
Mici (or Mititei ) are actually part of other cultures that got in Romania during older wars with Turkey empire the only difference is that Turkey recipe includes beef & lamb (usually baby lamb or baby goat) they cylindrical & longer and are cooked in the similar way as kebab meat and the spices were more predominant instead of beer (since they are part of muslim culture) but in Romania after the Turk empire got back the traditional cuisine of Romania did it's own recipe with what meat was most popular beef & pork and beer + baking powder to make them moister and juicy being cooked much better on the barbeque & grill..

I'm impressed that you made it at home. What's interesting, is that usually the good stuff in life is made by people that we don't actually know. Like "mici" for example, we all know that is made by someone who ran out of that carcass, and that's all. And I'm sure that in every country you find a certain dish very popular but they don't have any clue who made it. 😄
Just had my first picaña in Madrid, all thanks to you guys! Happy to know you you are coming back to Romania! Discovered your channel by accident been following you since!
Hi guys ! first of all I am a Romanian / Canadian citizen , born in Romania , emigrated in Canada, Ontario, lived in Toronto North York ON , studied at University of Toronto , physical therapy, worked at Baycrest Centre ,married my wife, a doctor in dentistry who was working in a dental clinic in Toronto on Bay St. Dr. Steven Small clinic....and moved back in Romania Bucharest ,because my wife has a dentistry clinic in Bucharest ....so , Thank You so much for promoting Romania so hard !!! Thank You again for beeing so Canadian/Romanian !!! I missed so much from time to time my summers and falls in Toronto or in the North Bay , Nipissing District ....Love you guys and the best of luck !...oh I mostly forgot....I'm a fan of Rapid Bucuresti soccer team since infancy but I coach a couple of children hockey team in Toronto , the Downsview Beavers and Toronto Red Wings ....
my man, you nailed it! as a 28 yo romanian I've never seen people actually making the composition, we just know the best meat shops and I enjoyed every second of your video.
This made me very happy guys. Gotta say he has the proper grilling etiquette. Doesnt care how cold it is outside, first thing he does is he gets his beer, as soon as he cooks a bit he feeds the people around him, what can i say,,, like a true romanian. All the best guys
By the way, in Romania some days ago was a scandal that our representatives went to a tourism convention in NY and only brought with them 10 pictures to the stand from google with Romania...shame on us cuz you two clearly made 10 times more of an impact in romanian tourism them those. And yes, it is a shame that somebody from another continent does it better for us than we do it for ourselves. Glad you liked Romania!
Welcome back Steve and Ivana, we miss you here in Romania, hope you guys miss us too and will come back soon. 🥰 Your mici looked really good! I bet they were tasty as well. 😁
I am an American, but having been introduced to Romanian and Moldovan foods, I have to say, Mici, Sarmale, and Mamaliga are my favorites so far. I've made Mamaliga and Sarmale, but haven't made Mici ..... yet! I usually get it from a Balkan store when I am craving Burek and Baklava. Phyllo is the most awesomest thing ever!
I'm Peruvian and I've just found these videos yesterday. I was so happy you were enjoying your time here, I saw all the videos in a row. I hoped you could buy an apartament here in Lima but now of course you won't. I feel embarrased and angry because I know how robers are here in Peru. I hope you can come back in the future maybe just to eat LÚCUMAS again and try new delicious Peruvian food. I can't give ypu money but I'll watch every advertisments and click in the links, hope that can help a little bit.
Well done, Ivana, you are a good cook....can cook so well 👍👍 So are you, Steve. It's hilarious watching you doing the grilling part 😄😄. Glad that your parents like the Mici. Would like to try out the recipe one day and thanks to Ramona's Cuisine for the recipe.
Nice work. For greater authenticity, you need to fry the mici on the wood grill. They get a special aroma that way, fried but also a little smoked . You can also add 10% sheep meet.
@@Yasin_Affandi Never use bird meat to mici... chicken, turkey or else.... Initial recipe was contained horse meat, like 3 part beaf, 2 part lamb . 1 part horse (late 1700 to middle 1800) but in 20-th century was excluded. So, basically are to sorts - beef/sheep or beef/pork . Can also find sometimes mixed. Reason for the two variations is that originally, mici were prepared in Wallachian's Inns or caravansaray's, were used tio stay many muslim/jewish traders and they didn't eat pork.
@@augustiniumihaila4466 Thanks for d info n d brief history of mici. If I'm not mistaken, Steve n Ivana like it very much that they cook this dish at their house in Canada. 🙂
te-am urmarit tot timpul petrecut in Romania.....I followed you all the time spent in Romania.....RESPECT MAN!!!...inca ceva: daca faceai micii pe gratar din carbuni sau lemn,erau si mai buni!one more thing: if you made the little ones on the grill from charcoal or wood, they were even better!
I am from Romania and I love the fact that you love our country and our food and that you actually managed to cook our food back to your home and shared it with your family. And don’t worry about the size of the mici because actually “mic” in Romanian means small and “mici” is the plural for “mic”
Honestly I'm really glad and I feel proud that "micii" they are appreciated and you like it, in moments like that I feel proud to be a Romanian😂🇷🇴✌🏼 Greetings from Romania
Guys! I'm pretty sure you can find already prepared MICI, try to find Romanian shops, i saw in Toronto shops like Carpati Euro & Delicatessen or ABC Euro Delicatessen. Cheers! :D
Hell yeah brother! Today I was making your joke with the roof is made from stuff (Danube delta episode) while walking around in a urban wetland in Bucharest. Will catch up with your videos that you did jn the meanwhile. All the best!
as a Romanian, all i can say is that for us Romanians if someone talk nice and just loves our food you are one of us , ly guys tnx for everything you said about my country made me proud again that i m Romainian
Hey guys, love your videos! Congrats on your first Mici recipe! Great job! Btw, Ivana said she would love to try cooking ciorba de burta (but she never cooked tripe); well, you can buy tripe already cleaned and cut, ready to be used for ciorba de burta, not a difficult recipe; try Nofrills for example. I mean, she made Mici, isn't she? looking forward to see your next adventure and enjoy your time at home.
Ivana yo soy rumana y soy de Craiova pero yo vivo ahora en Valencia y veo tus vídeos en UA-cam y me encanta verte y te arecio mucho por hacer tus esfuerzo para aprender hacer nici ciorbă de burtă y más cosas. Enhorabuena Ivana !!!
Well done you both, congratulations, so proud of you, not to many Romanian people dare to make homemade mici pasta ,but you succeed ,that's mean you enjoyed and really miss Romania!💯💥👍
Glad to see My favorite cook in the world commenting on this vid! Hi, mom, so happy I saw you commenting on two of the coolest travel vloggers, nice surprise!
I'm romanian,32 years old...and mici is one of my favorite dishes.I grew up with mici.In Romania,the best mici you have is in a market space...there are mici everywhere,and...i like to eat mici with salt and mustard and beers.Also...imho,the best mici,are the ones that have sheep meat in them....mix of pork,beef,and sheep.
God this brings back memories. I grow up in the '80 ,'90 in Romania and on few holidays ( 1 of May , 23 of August and other) a usual order for 4 people was 100 mici and a case of beer (24 x 0.5 l) . Young and reckless and no embarrassing photo or video of the aftermath. Fun . Thanks Ion from România
Romanian here, good job guys! Happy to see you back in Canada and remember about your romanian experience. Lots of love from RO!!! Hope you come back and explore more !!!
From a Romanian ..living .in Australia .Steve &Ivana=PURE ROMANIANS ! WE❤ YOU GUYS ! Great job !!!

Happy to see mici are conquering the world! Looking forward to seeing you back in Romania!
I am half Romanian and half Portuguese 😂edit : I’m also Learning Spanish and my school , ty for all the likes 😜👌🏻🥳👋
I agree! And for somebody trying an recipe on internet...the result seems pretty authentic. I wish they invent smell transmission on internet
So true @Tai Kai......😂
It’s not Romanian … mici nu sunt tradiționali românești
Fabian esti foarte prost
advice from a romanian (a drunk romanian): never use ground garlic from the store, just buy some garlic and grind it. trust me.
why not both
because one is beautiful natural flavor and the other processed crap @obudanbondon
You are the best ambassador of Romania in Canada 👏👏👏😀🍁💙💛❤
Steve and Ivana, greetings from Romania! As a Romanian, I was super proud of what Steve's mother said at the end of the vlog!
Nicely done👍 good job ! Mici is definitely a way to go at any kind of barbeque they want to throw at or any grill party, the only thing is that when are freezed before cooking the meat will shrink and they need fiddling turning to all sides to be well cooked but once done they are finished they are so rewarding in taste just with bred, mustard and pickles ! ;0) 👌😋
Omg!!! You make me cry…they look insane!! For sure I’ll try it as well…it’s been more than 5 years since the last time I ate mici…as a Romanian that lives in Canada I really appreciate this video…😍
Depending on where you live in Canada you can get amazing mici . In Montreal you can get the meat already done you just have to form them .
Va salut!

4:58 Mici is plural, mic is singular. One mic, two mici. First mic ever, leading to the creation of 31 mici.
I’ve never eaten Mici or Romanian cuisine before. The food you’ve (plural) made must be really good because your mum said so. Always trust mums! 👍
They are called mici or mititei translate in english is smalls...because they are like some one bite skinless sausage
Don't use translated version...it sounds strange...actually, personally, i have no ideea if their name it actually has a conection with the romanian word for "small" or it is a simple coincidence. Like, the most sadic joke of my childhood " prăjitură" which means "fried" but also "cookye" ...my grandpa used this trick with me, just imaginate me when i thought i was asked if i want a cookie and i got some sort of fat-meat dish...not fun 🤣😅
you need to try
Should really try it! The tradițional food is very good and special avery were un the world!!

I've made Mamaliga and Sarmale, but haven't made Mici ..... yet! I usually get it from a Balkan store when I am craving Burek and Baklava. Phyllo is the most awesomest thing ever!
From now on ,you are half romanian!Every time I see or think about "mici",i have a watering mouth!
I'm Peruvian and I've just found these videos yesterday. I was so happy you were enjoying your time here, I saw all the videos in a row. I hoped you could buy an apartament here in Lima but now of course you won't. I feel embarrased and angry because I know how robers are here in Peru. I hope you can come back in the future maybe just to eat LÚCUMAS again and try new delicious Peruvian food. I can't give ypu money but I'll watch every advertisments and click in the links, hope that can help a little bit.

Well done, Ivana, you are a good cook....can cook so well 👍👍 So are you, Steve. It's hilarious watching you doing the grilling part 😄😄. Glad that your parents like the Mici.
Would like to try out the recipe one day and thanks to Ramona's Cuisine for the recipe.
💝💝🙏🏼
Nice work. For greater authenticity, you need to fry the mici on the wood grill. They get a special aroma that way, fried but also a little smoked . You can also add 10% sheep meet.
You guys are the crackest of the cracks! Ivona is a star cook! Well done and looking forward to having you back in Romania! Pofta buna!
Thank you! You are a very good ambasador for Romania! And also you are fan of Rapid Bucharest my favorit team in Romania!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Can we use minched beef n lamb or chicken instead?
@@justme7920 Thank u for d tips, appreciate it. 🙂
@@Yasin_Affandi Never use bird meat to mici... chicken, turkey or else.... Initial recipe was contained horse meat, like 3 part beaf, 2 part lamb . 1 part horse (late 1700 to middle 1800) but in 20-th century was excluded. So, basically are to sorts - beef/sheep or beef/pork . Can also find sometimes mixed. Reason for the two variations is that originally, mici were prepared in Wallachian's Inns or caravansaray's, were used tio stay many muslim/jewish traders and they didn't eat pork.
@@augustiniumihaila4466 Thanks for d info n d brief history of mici. If I'm not mistaken, Steve n Ivana like it very much that they cook this dish at their house in Canada. 🙂
Just wanted to point out that you and your dad are a mirror image giving the tumbs out.
Thanks for the video, love watching you two.
OMG guys, seeing you enjoing such a basic meal from Romania made my day :D Love you and cant wait to come back here !!!
te-am urmarit tot timpul petrecut in Romania.....I followed you all the time spent in Romania.....RESPECT MAN!!!...inca ceva: daca faceai micii pe gratar din carbuni sau lemn,erau si mai buni!one more thing: if you made the little ones on the grill from charcoal or wood, they were even better!
JetLag Mici - Invading Canada since 2022 !!
Thumbs up lads, so nice to see the love!
I am from Romania and I love the fact that you love our country and our food and that you actually managed to cook our food back to your home and shared it with your family. And don’t worry about the size of the mici because actually “mic” in Romanian means small and “mici” is the plural for “mic”
În engleză s-ar traduce mititei= little's
Yesssssss! You did it! I'm so proud of you! 🤗❤️🤗
I got to say that those are some good looking mici. Congrats Steve and Ivana and we await your arrival here. Kudos from Romania.
Honestly I'm really glad and I feel proud that "micii" they are appreciated and you like it, in moments like that I feel proud to be a Romanian😂🇷🇴✌🏼 Greetings from Romania
👏👏👏👏👏For your beautiful mom! ❤️🇷🇴❤️🇷🇴❤️🇷🇴❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Sunteti foarte tari !
An Ivana cooking video brings back memories of 2020 in a good way 😌
Your girlfriend it's amazing and i love how she s positive in everything and she 's a great women.
Guys! I'm pretty sure you can find already prepared MICI, try to find Romanian shops, i saw in Toronto shops like Carpati Euro & Delicatessen or ABC Euro Delicatessen. Cheers! :D
Hell yeah brother! Today I was making your joke with the roof is made from stuff (Danube delta episode) while walking around in a urban wetland in Bucharest. Will catch up with your videos that you did jn the meanwhile. All the best!
Big respect ... ty for promoting this .... i watched your trip in Romania and i am glad u liked

Did you have also romanian mustard with mici and a beer?😊it going perfect😊Greetings from Romania😊🇷🇴
mici are good. Hello from Romania :)))
P.S. come and eat "mici" in Bucharest at "Piata Obor" and you won't want to leave anymore :))
Hello. I'm from Romania and I appreciate that you also like traditional Romanian food.
really glad you like them and seem to really enjoy them, you got the mici spirit
Hey guys, love your videos! Congrats on your first Mici recipe! Great job! Btw, Ivana said she would love to try cooking ciorba de burta (but she never cooked tripe); well, you can buy tripe already cleaned and cut, ready to be used for ciorba de burta, not a difficult recipe; try Nofrills for example. I mean, she made Mici, isn't she? looking forward to see your next adventure and enjoy your time at home.
Ivana yo soy rumana y soy de Craiova pero yo vivo ahora en Valencia y veo tus vídeos en UA-cam y me encanta verte y te arecio mucho por hacer tus esfuerzo para aprender hacer nici ciorbă de burtă y más cosas. Enhorabuena Ivana !!!
Bravooo@ adevărați mici românești! Yumyyy
Well done you both, congratulations, so proud of you, not to many Romanian people dare to make homemade mici pasta ,but you succeed ,that's mean you enjoyed and really miss Romania!💯💥👍
Glad to see My favorite cook in the world commenting on this vid! Hi, mom, so happy I saw you commenting on two of the coolest travel vloggers, nice surprise!
@@alexandrupatru2892 Hi ,my favourite son (only one basically) thanks for your appreciation 😊 🥰
This is my favorite youtube travel channel.
In a few days, on May 1st, there is a big traditional party in Vama Veche, I will be there. ;-)
Tripe soup for life. We’re also big shawarma lovers. :-) but that’s still below the MICI. Can’t grill anything in Romania without some MICI
Nice content guys.
Big up from România, nice mici and beer!
I'm romanian,32 years old...and mici is one of my favorite dishes.I grew up with mici.In Romania,the best mici you have is in a market space...there are mici everywhere,and...i like to eat mici with salt and mustard and beers.Also...imho,the best mici,are the ones that have sheep meat in them....mix of pork,beef,and sheep.
God this brings back memories. I grow up in the '80 ,'90 in Romania and on few holidays ( 1 of May , 23 of August and other) a usual order for 4 people was 100 mici and a case of beer (24 x 0.5 l) . Young and reckless and no embarrassing photo or video of the aftermath. Fun . Thanks Ion from România
Romanian here, good job guys! Happy to see you back in Canada and remember about your romanian experience. Lots of love from RO!!! Hope you come back and explore more !!!
im so happy u like mici.... proud of u, proud of romania, my home country :) u guys are natural.... they look exactly how they supposed to
