I also have a one-bowl sink and no dishwasher. I recently renovated my kitchen and got a single-lever sink that can be turned off without changing the water temperature. I soap a few dishes at a time with the water off, then flip the lever up and rinse them. This way I only use water when I need to. The faucet also allows the flow to be controlled easily, so I use as much or as little water as I need.

I don't fill up the sink but let dishes sit a while with some water on them to make cleanup easier.
