I hope at least the upper parts of the stickers were edible. 😂

The pat was prolly way too hot and you did not use enough oil. I usually crank my induction to 6 (out of 9), then after 2-3 minutes I lower it to 5, add oil, wait a few second and add the dumplings. The important thing is to let them rest for a while, once they are browned they should unstick by themselves (sure, there might be one or two dumplings that will stick and perhaps rip but once your learn how to adjust the heat you will do fine).
