minute...

Are you sure it's minue???
I would say (à la) minute, which is used for quickly cooked dishes
or a x-minute steak
I would need more context!

for a very short time

'minue' should be 'minute'?
Of course we can say 'minute cake' and there are trade names such as Minute Rice or Minute Tapioka etc.
