No reduced-sodium soy sauce in the house? You do not need to buy a second bottle. Mix 3 parts regular soy sauce with 2 parts water; that lands within a few milligrams of the reduced-sodium version and keeps the liquid the recipe is built around, which is what you want in a dressing or a marinade. If you would rather not add water, use a scant 2 teaspoons for every tablespoon called for. That is the simpler move and it works well in a stew or a stir-fry, where a little less liquid will not be missed. Either way, taste before you add more.
