Place the cubed chicken in a bowl, and add the marinade ingredients. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the orange juice, the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and chile paste. If you find the orange flavor too overpowering, you can substitute water for some of the orange juice. Mince the garlic and the ginger. Heat the wok and add oil. When the oil is ready, add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until aromatic. Then, add the chicken and stir-fry it until it changes color. Push the chicken up to the sides of the wok, making a well in the middle and pour in the sauce. Combine the sauce and the chicken and stir-fry for another minute and serve hot.
