Sorry to seem uninformed, but why is this so clearly the wrong response?
As I can see, you need to add energy into the aircraft... if in thr idle then adding 10kt doesn't achieve the aim, but if you are in speed mode it will give you a boot full of thrust which surly is what you want?

As a general rule when this warning activates it's time to hit TOGA and get out of there.

The warning has nothing to do with airspeed. It independent of protections. It has nothing to do with VLS, this warning can trigger at any airspeed within its reporting envelope. The warning indicates thrust is limited. If flying AT off, increase thrust, if flying AT on, you must push the TL's past the climb detent.
“A low energy warning alerts pilots when aircraft energy is insufficient to achieve a climbing flight path through pitch control alone. The “SPEED, SPEED, SPEED” voice alert repeats every 5 seconds while the condition exists. Thrust must be increased to achieve a climbing flight path. The low energy warning is computed by the FACs. It is available inconfigurations 2, 3, and FULL and is based on aircraft configuration, airspeed deceleration rate, and flight path angle.”
