1. Rinse the black sesame seeds in a strainer under running water, scrubbing them.
2. Drain and put them in a heavy pot. Stir with a wooden spoon over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
3. When the seeds start to pop, lower the heat and keep stirring until they are crispy.
4. Blend the toasted sesame seeds with ½ cup water for 1 minute until smooth.
5. Add 1 cup water and blend for another minute.
6. Put 3 tbsp sweet rice flour into a heavy pot and mix in the sesame mixture with a wooden spoon.
7. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring for about 2 to 3 minutes until it bubbles.
8. Lower to a simmer and stir for 3 to 5 minutes; the porridge will thin slightly and turn glossy.
9. Stir in ½ tsp salt, transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with the jujube and pumpkin seeds (or pine nuts). Serve warm.
