   Patti's Pointers: Be sure and use light teriyaki sauce; the regular kind has goo-gobs of sodium. With all the other goodies in this dish, I promise you won't miss the taste. And if you're trying to shake the salt habit, use only 1 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce. Before digging in, you can season with your favorite salt substitute, if needed.
