Rinse the rice, soak it for 30 minutes, and drain it in a sieve. Reserve part of the measured water for blending. Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry pan over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes and remove them from the pan to cool. Add the reserved water to the cooled seeds in portions and blend until no visible grains remain. Put the soaked rice and the rest of the water in a pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring along the bottom, until the rice is soft and the liquid has thickened. Add the black sesame liquid and stir over low heat for 5 minutes. Mix in 0.5 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar, then divide the porridge between two bowls. The measured water is shared between blending the seeds and cooking the rice.
