thai chicken green curry

I forgot to take a picture of this recipe, so you may have to use your imagination.
recipe:
1 lb chicken, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons green curry paste
2 green onions with tops, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon ginger
2 cups coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, for garnish
Toss chicken in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, then in the flour, coating pieces evenly. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, cook and stir chicken until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken.
Reduce heat to medium and stir in the curry paste. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in green onions, garlic, and ginger. cook an additional 2 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the curry mixture. Stir the coconuut milk, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and sugar into the chicken-curry mixture. Allow to simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.

I thought this recipe was pretty good, not overpowering with the curry but still had a little bit of a kick to it. next time i make it i'll try to remember to take a picture.
