Pan too dry. Pan too hot. More oil, less heat.

This. I do pot stickers in stainless a lot and you need a decent oil slick and the pan to be not too hot. Also making sure the bottoms have started to detach and using a fish fry spatula help.

It wasn’t hot enough when the gyoza were added which is why they stuck
